Nutrition has become the same as politics- since I don’t agree with what you think, you’re assuming I’m part of the “opposite side” which is absolutely untrue in this case.

Being able to come up with a single plausible mechanism like you posted makes sense in isolation, but not when you consider the bigger systems level picture of a whole organism and chemically complex foods, and the fact that anyone who has taken undergrad biochem could come up with a dozen that are equally plausible and consistent with the literature but in the opposite direction. I’ll mention Chris Masterjohn, not because I agree with him, but because he’s a nutrition guru that is great at coming up with dozens of plausible mechanisms that argue against what you are saying. That type of mechanistic reductionist reasoning is the main reason nutrition advice is so falsely overconfident and mostly nonsense.
