My view of nutrition is basically option 2. “Nutrition science” as it exists today seems to be primarily an attempt to study subtle, complex effects using small, poorly-controlled samples. There are basic facts about nutrients that are fairly well supported, but I have never become convinced of the superiority of any “diet” based on the supposed evidence for it.
