The good news is people want to eat for health. They’re ready to respond to the latest research study or the newest discovery about food benefits, especially when a nutritional component is somehow linked to treatment or prevention of a disease.
But is the natural ingestion of ‘beneficial’ ingredients a better path than taking medicines? Can consumers be reasonably certain such ‘findings’ aren’t tied to the promotion of special interests? Or, even if studies are objective, that a nutrition plan based on specific foods would work for them? Or, if taken in pill form from a bottle, that a package label is accurate? Or that conflicting research won’t come out at a later time that confuses consumers?
