Nutrition Research: What Can Studies Tell Us?
Conclusion

Different types of nutrition research studies vary in their strengths and weaknesses. Rarely can a single study provide evidence of a causal relationship between diet and disease (6a).

A causal relationship between diet and disease becomes more probable when relevant data from several different types of studies are consistent (2,6a,8). Putting research findings into context and taking a moderate approach to communicating new findings can help the public better understand the evolutionary nature of nutrition science and determine whether or not a dietary change is justified.
