Well, I'm regurgitating a Dr. Greger of https://nutritionfacts.org, who is constantly reading studies and papers to get to the bottom of dietary science. You're welcome to spool through his hours of video on YouTube on the subject (where he quotes excerpts from studies he's read), or maybe just start with this one on gut flora and obesity:

Sources are under the video.

Yes, so. The linked video is about a n=30 observational study. "Diet science" is full of this. (At least this study explicitly noted that no inference regarding health outcomes were made.)

The guy is fighting the good fight (against USDA and so on), but this is still the HN is hilariously bad at diet and related issues.

Dude there is far from a 'consensus' in this field.

Recommending reading one guys opinion on it sorta proves the point.
