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?

Straw man. No one argues that “all ‘x’ can do ‘y’”.

Didn't you say that all NDs are quacks?

Nice distract. We weren’t talking a about NDs but about MDs. And I don’t recall saying that but it is certainly true.

Originally I hoped you might agree that evidence and science lack relevance where reasonable scientists hold contrary positions about the same points. But then you stated that anyone who disagrees with what you believe is cherry picking evidence. Are you naive, or a zealot?

The statement is untrue. Science and evidence NEVER lack relevance.
