That leads to the outcome that your statement "The science of keeping humans healthy is fairly well researched" is false.

I would rather say that your statements in this particular topic and wise statements per se are separate things entirely and what you have just claimed is not at all.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by this, but I think I understand a little. The reason why the study of health is separate than the being of health is that the being requires time and experience. I cannot convey how I feel when I eat clean, lift well, read a lot, and socialize often, but I can say that I feel "happy" or "good" and give you a list of steps to achieve that state.

This essence of "lossy transmission" is simply our reality.
