re: I hate it when I read “Studies now show-——” .Time to look for an agenda.
What I check:
0. Find the fulltext, and not some dunce’s misreading of it.
1. Is it just an analysis, or a new trial?
2. Is it a trial on humans, or rodents?
3. Who funded it?
4. What else have the researchers been on about?
5. If a real trial, what was the reference (control) diet?
6. What was the placebo? (often amazingly NON-inert)
This is the sad reality of what passes for nutrition science over the last half century.
Here’s another “emperor has no clothes” article just lately published (and only 40 years overdue):
“Nutrition Revolution—The End of the High Carbohydrates Era for Diabetes Prevention and Management”

The last sentence in that article is what is dismaying.
I followed so called health quacks on the radio, years ago. I forgot their names, but most of what they talked about, is now considered good sense — not quackery. Look at Linus Pauling and his stand on Vitamin C.,
One thing I learned was to look to see who was funding any particular article on nutrition.
