I don’t think you’re being cynical enough. Nutritional science is a science, technically, I guess, but it’s one of the worst in terms of the quality of evidence it’s practical to produce.
And there certainy is not as much consensus as you suggest- I don’t agree that there’s any at all on saturated fats.
Now with epigenetic clocks we can see how dietary modifications impact health more broadly and they do show that nutritionist consensus (something like a mediterranean diet / plant based diet) is in the right direction. Your skepticism isn’t well founded, in my opinion.
I don’t believe this is true, at all. I don’t believe any part of this is true, actually.
I don’t think there is a nutritionist consensus. And I don’t think that there is wide agreement, even, about a plant based diet being superior. And I don’t think there’s any way of reliably demonstrating how dietary modifications impact health. If there were, we wouldn’t still need to be doing all these terrible studies in a desperate attempt to know anything at all.
If you can provide support for any of these assertions I’d be interested.
