In general diet seems to be one of the hardest fields to research. After, what, 100+ years of work?, there's still very little that seems definite.
Another one of the references that pops up in this context is Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and their attempt to overcome strong doubt that people could do well eating only meat and fish by doing exactly that for a year. (As I read just now, Stefansson was compensated for his efforts by the American Meat Institute.)
You mention inertia. While I agree, I think another valid interpretation is that money can act as a tie breaker when there's a lot of ambiguity. Selective sponsorship helps amplify the voices on the side of the fog you want people to go.
Cheers.
