My beef is that nutritional "experts" tend to reverse their "advice" every 5-10 years.
- X is bad
- No, actually X is good.
- No, it turns out X is actually bad after all.
- No, actually it's Y that's causing all our problems.
- Wait, no, it's Z.
And then along comes the marketing blitz.
"No salt", "Sugar free" "glucose free" "gluten free" "made with cane syrup" "cholesterol free" "fat free" "no saturated fat" "no trans fat" and now "carb free", no doubt.
And then the vitamin supplement and herbal crowd come out to flog their latest crackpot diets and exercise regimens and trans-yogic-meta-druidic-ninjutsu-meditation.
