Experts have spent years studying their field. Sure, the information and books are all there for you to learn from. Hell, if you spend enough time at it, you might be an expert too. But do you really expect someone to sit and spend the time required to truly grok nutrition, health, medicine, etc? Oh, and how do you sift through the information to determine what is true and what isn't?
The information that experts have is probably available to most anyone, but where experts really have the advantage is that they have the proper context and training to correctly interpret and apply that knowledge.
It's one thing to try this stuff out on your own body. When you start convincing others to try it too is when it gets dangerous.

Regarding nutrition studies, it is not possible not only to regular person, but also to nutrition experts themselves, because there are many contradicting results from different studies in this field. That's why for this startup he uses mostly plain biology and chemistry, which is far less contradicting, and only fills some gaps with nutrition studies. I'd say nutrition studies are the weakest source of information available, compared to chemistry and biology. So you call this thing dangerous when others attempt it? If this is dangerous, how would you call mass consumption of junk food and trans fats? It should be called a genocide, if you call this experiment dangerous.
