?These reversals in the field do make us wonder and scratch our heads,? said David Allison, a public health professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. ?But in science, change is normal and expected.?
When our view of the cosmos shifted from Ptolemy to Copernicus to Newton and Einstein, Allison said, ?the reaction was not to say, ?Oh my gosh, something is wrong with physics!? We say, ?Oh my gosh, isn?t this cool?? ?
Allison said the problem in nutrition stems from the arrogance that sometimes accompanies dietary advice. A little humility could go a long way.
?Where nutrition has some trouble,? he said, ?is all the confidence and vitriol and moralism that goes along with our recommendations.?
