> This article is unfairly painting the issue as black and white when there are so many shades inbetween This encapsulates the whole discussion around digestive and intestinal issues. There are very few things that are one size fits all when it comes to diet and gastrointestinal issues. Anecdata from my life: Aspartame and Asesulfame K have been extensively studied and determined as safe. BUT if I eat both of them + sugar, I start producing gasses even Putin wouldn't use against Ukraine. I can also eat wheat in most cases, EXCEPT for "industrial" breads - my theory is that there's some leavening agent they use that my GI tract objects with and makes me bloat like crazy. And (western) science HATES things that are highly individual and can't be generalised, made into pills and sold.
