And when doctors and other health professionals are recommending this or that, they are often basing it on their best conjecture or on the results of one or a few studies, just as we do when we read things and follow them on that basis.  And remember that, while the FDA's panel that approves drugs and foods is expert, they are not experts in everything.  As a speaker at a commencement at Harvard Medical School in the 80s said "You can leave here knowing that about 10% of what we taught you here is fact. The problem is, none of us knows which 10%."  Most people get their beliefs from the media (including media doctors who interpret study findings), and most media reports are based on what's been discovered in one study by one group of researchers, and touted as fact.  And many times, when further study shows the opposite, it is ignored, or the public has come to believe so strongly in the first study that no amount of evidence to the contrary can change minds.
