My impression is there's always been strong resistance to studying anything that might disprove current dietary dogmas. NIH invested $700 million into failed WHI. Goal was to prove low fat diet prevents diseases. And win Nobel Prizes. What incentive now to prove a 60-year error?https://twitter.com/MichaelMindrum/status/1153693307668770816 …
I don't know academia or how these things work, but I would think that the person who "proved" that low-fat diets were causing people to die would be saving a lot of lives and thus would, in the long run, be eligible for great accolades.

I guess most people who go into academia tend not to be of the iconoclastic/contrarian personality type. "Don't rock the boat"
