Nutritionfacts is ideologically driven operation. They only present one side of the argument. Plant based diet first, facts second. Being a nonprofit doesn't make you immune from bias. It's not just money perverting the field, but also ideology. The whole field of nutrition is divided into camps, when they conduct meta-analyses of all the literature, they pick inclusion/exclusion criteria so that the side that they are championing wins.

Metabolic syndrome is on the same spectrum of chronic illnesses as type 2 diabetes. It's not surprising that even non-diabetics can benefit from t2d drug metformin considering that only 11% Americans are fully metabolically healthy meaning they meet none of the criteria for metabolic syndrome. But if you are one of these metabolically healthy people, you probably wont benefit from metformin.
