Summary
Ioannidis presents a critical assessment of nutritional epidemiologic research, arguing that the field faces substantial methodological and reporting challenges that undermine research quality and trustworthiness. The commentary calls for radical reform in how nutritional studies are designed, conducted, and communicated to improve scientific rigour and reproducibility.
