Then goal one is to get some iron-clad evidence so your next recommendation doesn't make it worse. Just because a mistake was made the first time isn't an excuse to make the same mistake a second time.
- paulddraper 10y agoOnce you have iron-clad evidence of a diet better than all other diets, you've reached the end. Congratulations.
- gozur88 10y agoYou don't need to be better than all other diets. You just need to be better than the previous recommendation.
- zaphar 10y agoThis is a red herring argument. You don't need iron-clad evidence of a diet better than all diets. You only need iron-clad evidence for smaller specific recommendations. This doesn't have to be an all or nothing diet. In fact with nutrition it probably can't which means advice should be both well-researched and more nuanced than it currently is. Neither of which changes the point that making recommendation with little to no quality research is more likely to make it worse than make it better and you'd be better off just staying where you are until you understand the problem better.
