About Blessed Nutrition

Plain-English guides to healthy foods and supplements, with extra care around allergens, especially soy.

Where this site comes from

Blessed Nutrition began in 1999 as an online store for nutrition products, and I ran it until 2005. This site is its second life: buying guides that explain what to look for on a label, with links to find the products on Amazon.

Who is behind it

I'm Steven Ferguson, a retired electronics engineer (BSEE, University of South Florida). From 1983 to 1998 I worked at the FCC's Tampa field office, doing interference investigations, compliance and enforcement work, and inspections of ship radio equipment under the international safety rules known as SOLAS and GMDSS. After that I ran Blessed Nutrition, and from 2006 to 2024 a computer services business. I am a lifelong Florida resident.

What I am not

I am not a doctor, pharmacist or dietitian, and nothing on this site is medical advice. These guides explain what official health agencies say and how to read a label. For your own health, medicines, pregnancy, allergies or a diagnosed condition, please talk to a qualified professional.

How I work

Enforcement work teaches you to go to the primary source, read what it actually says, and be clear about what you could not verify. The guides here follow the same habit. Claims link to government health agencies, and where agencies in different countries disagree, the guide says so. You can read the details on our How we research page.

Allergens

If you avoid soy or another allergen, you will find it reflected throughout the site: label-reading tips, a dedicated soy-free guide, and repeated reminders that Amazon does not verify allergen claims.

How the site earns money

Blessed Nutrition is an Amazon Associate. When you buy through a link here, Amazon handles checkout, shipping and returns, and the site earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. No brand has paid to be mentioned in these guides.
