You
need to keep in mind that you shouldn’t make broad conclusions for
dietary advice based on single studies or anecdotal evidence – you
need to look at the entire body of evidence.
It’s
easy to get lost in all of the nutrition information out there.
Some are tempted to focus on the importance of one or two particular
nutrients without much regard for others. It is important to remember
that nutrients work in a very complex system – the human body. Nutrients
interact with each other, and act differently in one individual
vs another sometimes.
And
don’t forget the human behavior factor. Knowing nutrition does not
always translate to good nutrition practices. The goal of nutrition
is to enhance human health. You can come up with a fabulously nutritious
diet, but if it is not reasonable or palatable, people won’t adopt
it.
