Well that falls under nutrition being complex, which it certainly is. But what I mean is that even with the basics, areas like weight loss or various common health issues, we can't get agreement.
I mean really basics. What causes the production of fat (sugar related hormones or caloric surplus) what causes heightened cholesterol, etc. Experiments & papers seem to be constantly contradicting. Even if we have observational evidence of one thing or another, the theory behind it never really fits.
Anyway, I think it's strange. Such a basic, obvious area of science where we seem to be so behind. Not knowing what makes cholesterol levels go up is like not knowing about entropy or Newtons Laws for physics or not knowing about plate tectonics for geology, evolution or genetics for biology.
