This complaint of "Why can't these scientists make up their minds?" is addressed well in the book "The China Study" ("Forks Over Knives" was the movie sequel to this book).
Before you are two conflicting research papers. One says eggs are bad, the other that they are good. One paper came from The American Poultry Society, and the other from The Poultry Research Institute (those are made up names for the sake of argument). One of those organizations is full of industry shills, and the other is actually doing legitimate research. Every few years, they release papers which contradict the another, in an endless arms race.
The problem which the consumer is faced with is: which is which?
- cellularmitosis 11y agoI should mention that a modern antidote to this are the efforts of people like Dr. Rhonda Patrick (http://www.foundmyfitness.com/ http://www.foundmyfitness.com/), who is on a mission to read research papers and distill them into digestible form for the public. Her appearances on the Joe Rogan podcast are all excellent (also available on youtube).
