The problem with that question is that

- the question, in that generality, is stupid
- Horrible, horrible journalism in the food sector. Think about it, even the last rag will have their lifestyle editor print the exaggerated interpretation of some single paper or result about nutrition, so they effectively try to do science journalism despite being completey unqualified. Food and nutrition is the only field where that is commonplace. So basically, all mainstream reporting on nutrition science is garbage.

Oh I know. But for the sake of argument I was taking his objection seriously. And pointing out how this was not a challenge to science.

But your right it is a stupid question at that level
