This.
The wildy differing research results indicates to me that the science of diet and health is just really hard. You can’t easily create control groups for longer running studies. You can’t easily control for (epi)genetic factors. There’s a tonne of other variables you also need to rule out.
And for individuals it’s still unclear whether the results apply to them or not.
Personally I’ve decided to go middle of the road, listen to my body and factor in more obvious things into my decisions about food, like animal cruelty, antibiotic resistance because of mass livestock keeping and consequences to the environment.
