"Our knowledge of food is super limited."
You mean your knowledge. The scientific world knows a lot about how food works and what it does to the human body. It could know more, but because our medical research is driven by profit motive instead of "the greater good", food research is low on the totem pole. The interference of corporations such as the subject of this story certainly hasn't helped the situation.
For example, General Mills is probably the most guilty single-party with regards to the diabetes and obesity epidemic, but nobody is holding them responsible. We should be. If corporations and their executive leadership were punished for the terrible things they do to our civilization, they would possibly take care to be more responsible in the future.
