Most wide-public guidelines are unhealthy and unscientific simply because they are the results of some lobbyist pushing some product. If we go through recent history a thing that's really difficult these days [1] we'll see many examples, let's say for foods: - blue fish are the protein of the sea, eat many! Few years later blue fish are the pollutant-eaters of the sea, avoid them! - cigarettes are good for health! They kill seasonal germs! Smoke! Few years later cigarettes should be banned they are absolutely unhealthy! - artificial tanning is safe for skin than Sun exposure! Than artificial tanning provoke skin cancer! - radioactivity at small doses are good for health, help fetus to develop stronger, help against baldness! Radioactivity is dangerous and lethal! .... The REAL issue is that to avoid such phenomenon we need a PUBLIC-only really developed and religiously separate from the private sector public research for the society, with public bodies who publish their results for any cohort of citizens (witch means from real papers to abstracts for the large public) and of course the little we have had, when real innovation have happened, was destroyed quickly cannibalizing their results for private profits. Just see the outcome for IT or from big pharma. Oh BTW such move it's the key for the win of China and Russia, since both still have public research while we haven't anymore. [1] YES, my dears fellow HNers we do have hyper-fast and hyper-big search engines BUT we have nothing public really good at finding really past events we do not know by some keywords, just try to generate let's say a map of how many floods per area we have experienced in recent years: IF someone have published that we can profit from such results, if not building out of the web it's far from easier. When someone do something similar for very specific aspects likely end up here on HN like the recent Reddit Map or some Babarasi network analyses etc because there is no public generic tool for such research
