Okay sure it could be quackery. But what if it's not? What if the claims, and the science, checks out? What does that make it then? Controversial, non-mainstream, maybe even pioneering? Sometimes it takes a while for new ideas to catch up with or be accepted by the mainstream especially when it goes against strong intuitions or biases to the contrary, and sometimes, as conspiratorial as I admit it can sound, commercial interests too. These low carb diets spring to mind on that front; I doubt any mainstream doctor would recommend them, because they go against all our intuitions, but nonetheless those ideas are gradually getting a foothold, gradually gaining traction and respectability.
