> Almost all nutritional advice is based on small studies.

I doubt they'll ever really expand beyond small studies in that field. There's certain groups that routinely do meta-analyses of nutritional (and other) studies, like the Cochrane Collaboration. E.g., Effect of cocoa on blood pressure: http://www.cochrane.org/CD008893/HTN_effect-of-cocoa-on-bloo...

That's really the only way to be confident, short of setting up a massive (expensive) randomized controlled trial.

You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack. Yet the only president talking about nutrition and GMO is Putin. Crazy based russians. https://www.rt.com/business/324605-russia-putin-healthy-food...

Not an argument.

Discovering new particles doesn't kill people? Not so sure… the history of atomic chemistry is littered with dead scientists.
