OMAD, wow. I’d never heard of it, but the result speaks for itself!
I admit that after I read this I came across a study testing the effect of a 19th-century German oat diet on the gut microbiome, and inspired by this book I tried it. I don’t know yet what it has done to my cholesterol but I feel a lot better in general. Apparently now my guts are all shiny inside.
We do need to know a lot more about nutrition. To me, it’s not that there’s no money in nutrition research (although it’s probably true) so much as there’s a gold mine in fake nutritional claims so we’re flooded with pseudoscience.

Sorry if this is too similar to the old joke about the 90-year-old man who tells his dentist he’s dating a 25-year-old woman.
“Why are you telling me?” the dentist asks.
“Are you kidding? I’m telling everybody!”
What we don't know about nutrition is criminal, but there's no money to be made in nutritional and dietary responses to health issues.
