Doctors are not experts in this, nor are public bodies. Endocrinology researchers are... It's really still an open field. New findings take almost a generation (20 years) to propagate to run off the mill doctors, slightly faster to specialists. And public bodies are slow as molasses in comparison, some still pushing advice from 1950s.
