The fact that one can be licensed does not make one competent. It’s like licensing magicians, only pretending that they don”real”magic.

Are all MDs competent?

No but they are licensed to practice a profession based on science and evidence. Naturopaths when licensed are still making shit up.

Serious, non-trolling question: How is science and evidence relevant to nutrition when there is not even general agreement among MDs about whether it is healthy for humans to drink milk, or eat eggs or meat?

The premise is incorrect on several levels. There is a lot of evidence about the role of nutrition in health. Tons.

I don’t disagree that there is evidence of the role of nutrition in health. I’m asking why so much of the evidence leads to diametrically opposite advice. Need examples? Eggs and dairy.

What about them? Moderate amount of eggs, dairy, meat is pretty clearly fine for most people. Not terribly controversial except some fringe folks who cherry pick the evidence.

In my experience, those complaining about the lack of nutrition education in medical training are almost always the ones who think *their* specific brand (vegan, carnivore, keto, etc) is THE one magic curative diet that should be taught.

I don’t disagree with this statement, based on my own observation. But are you saying that ALL physicians are qualified to give nutrition advice? Or some are not qualified?

Say what now?? I said neither of those things, but in any case naturopathic quackery is hardly limited to nutrition advice anyway.

Indeed not. There's so much more to naturopathic quackery than bogus diet and nutrition advice.

Then you agree that a physician who gives unqualified advice, including nutrition advice, is also a quack?

You must not be at all familiar with Dr Gorski’s work.
