In a sense, nutrition science has maneuvered itself into a corner here. Due to the religious insistence on randomized controlled trials and using a large number of people for studies, it's pretty much impossible to find any solutions unless they apply to everybody.
If we insisted on the same methods as car mechanics, we would have to declare that there is no solution for cars stranded on the side of the road.
After all, we did a large study: we took a sample of 10,000 cars stranded on the side of the road, and we attempted all popular ways of fixing them. We put gas into them, we pumped up their tires, we topped off the oil, and we checked for any engine errors.
Yet not a single one of these repairs made more than 15% of the cars run again!
Clearly, cars cannot be repaired. That's just science. Gasoline in, gasoline out!
