The problem with nutrition is that it's a very sensitive topic for people. Everyone wants to hear that what they eat is healthy, so "science" delivers on that demand.

For myself I decided to go with WFPB diet because pretty much everyone agrees that fruits, vegetables, greens and whole grains are good for you. There's no controversy there.

That doesn't mean it is good for you (or bad). For many years everyone said to avoid eggs for cholesterol. There was no controverse.

Basically without more good science on the subject, we are all just mostly guessing.
