This comment comes off as extremely uninformed; there is far more chemistry involved in nutrition than the tiny factors you mentioned.
Appealing to science could also be eating a higher saturated fat diet like in France where heart disease is lower than in the US.
There is lots of science that is ignored by the ignorant and uninformed.
Not to mention omega6 vs omega3; what you say is "appeal to nature" is actually appealing to science for some chemistry
