Tradition easily beats science when it comes to diet because food science hasn't progressed far enough yet. I'll eat as similarly as possible to the way my great-grandparents ate, disregarding any contradicting health recommendations, which have always been wrong so far. The most scientific explanation I can give is that humans have evolved around their diets, which I recognize as a hand-wave.
This works for nuts too. If people were fine with nuts for so long, I'm not going to believe that it's suddenly a problem. They made a first-world problem, and it's going to take more studies like this (this is just one) to conclude that scientifically.
