"You could say the same thing about any discipline where professionals have opposing viewpoints. "

I guess the problem in nutrition is that it impacts everybody's daily decisions. It doesn't make much difference to me if string theory or super symmetry works but it makes a difference to know whether I should avoid coconut oil or not.

If someone wants to experiment and be on the cutting edge they can follow the latest news stories. The stakes really aren't that high for most people. Those who follow the standard dietary advice can live a full life.

Totally agree. Follow the normal food advice and you are already 95% there.
