I think it was a mistake to focus public health discussions around the finer details of work in progress research.

The ambiguities and unknowns have opened the door for fitness gurus and health product grifters to turn this into a sort of holy war. It’s sad to see how many people have been convinced they are “healthy” because they follow a couple out of context fragments of the overall health picture.

I know too many people who think they are doing everything right because they avoid gluten, or don’t eat dairy products, or minimize saturated fat. Yet they go on to consume excessive amounts of sugar, or drink copious amounts of alcohol, or eat 4000+ calories per day of their chosen healthy foods.
