What should be predicted in nutrition that isn't?

  Well, virtually everything that gets spouted as gospel ends up turning out not to be true five, ten years later. Fats are good, then fats are bad, then they are good again. Then only certain kinds of fat, then other kinds of fat, etc. If you actually look into the studies, you find that the evidence for any the propositions is usually non-existent. I was reading some recent studies for instance, that were showing lower cholesterol increases mortality. Of course, I have no idea how good this study was. The entire review process for published results is broken horribly. You're pretty much better off ignoring everything and just using common sense.
