Summary

The field of wellness has a challenge. This challenge involves connecting wellness with the topic of nutrition. Logic would intuitively connect how a patient eats with how much wellness and vitality they exude. But this challenge is much more complex. Not only is how the field of nutrition is analyzed, measured, and quantified a tremendous confusion, but one must also carefully consider the individual biases of the researchers and any bureaucratic/institutional influence on those researchers.

From these multifactorial issues, many publications have arisen within the study of nutrition for each type of diet (or food consumption style) for humans. Each diet is “touted” as the best or most appropriate for some or all patients. Or certain foods are first banished as unhealthful, only to return to the limelight at a later date as now healthful. Obviously, these statements lead to significant and often contradictory messages to clinicians and patients alike.
