taking nutrition advice from
our great-grandmas in the
old country, rather than the
mid 20th century scientific
analysis
Thing is, the two, taken together is even more powerful. Old world methodologies for eating are excellent, but knowing why they work, and founding those motivations toward certain tendencies on hard evidence, produces iron-clad strategies for guiding those classes of decision making.
Understanding essential nutrients, and then taking those facts and aligning the anecdotes with them is a powerful reveal for both. Now, we know so much more about the solubility of chemicals in oils and water, and full molecular turnover due to nuclear medicine and radio tracers, the blood brain barrier and glandular interactions and signaling, and so, to look back and find that combining sea salt and volcanic water filtration and trace sources of iodine, plus dealing with fermentation and gut flora, all works together for real reasons, not just because of karma or curses or saints or sinners.
The power of chicken soup and orange juice, and the neurological effect of cheese on cheese eaters all works together for fascinating reasons. It's sort of a more potent trust-but-verify feedback loop.
