As true as that is, it is remarkably hard to get evidence-based, clear guidance on what to eat and not eat. Instead, it's a bunch of competing camps, with none having comprehensive evidence.
We're not far out of the caves when it comes to nutrition.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoAs true as that is, it is remarkably hard to get evidence-based, clear guidance on what to eat and not eat. That's in part because food is extremely complex, so it's hard to isolate nutritional factors. It can be done to some degree, but it's hard. There are some best practices for how to pursue it, but it tends to not get recognized as a legitimate approach because it falls outside the way science is typically done.
