Haven't they done nutrition studies in the military and in prisons because of the level of control over food intake?

Maybe, but how biased is the population? People in the army do a lot more physical exercise than most, people in jail have a different way of living than the rest of the population because of their circumstances.

Isn't that what control groups are for? Then you could rule out exercise or jail conditions as a factor.
