Nutrition science is, in general, a massive joke. It's more frustrating that the scientific/medical community will stand by the status quo because proving something to be true of humans is so incredibly difficult.

Edit: IMO, "hacking" is simply recognizing that the scientific community moves at a glacial pace and not waiting around for "experts" to arrive at a consensus 30 years from now to change something about your lifestyle/diet today that has been shown to be true of animals/smaller scale human studies many times over.
