What an interesting piece combining principles from philosophy, physics and nutrition science! I've not come across "Reason's Fulcrum" before- thank you for explaining this fascinating concept! The figures really helped me understand the concept.

Are there any specific sciences/humanities that experience the same volatility that nutrition science does? Is it the case that once one delves into any subject deep enough, they will be exposed to the fluctuating views or is there something particularly unique to the field of nutrition science (disregarding the influence of the media/celebrities endorsing diets)? If nutrition science was treated like any other science or humanity (i.e. without some social media influencers hyping supplements/making unsubstantiated claims), is there anything specific to this field that makes it particularly susceptible to the fluctuations? Thank you!
