As an ND most of what I do is evidence-based but I do also believe that empirical evidence should not be ignored. Evidence-based often implies someone paid to fund a study, not many folks are ready to fund nutrition studies where specific entities don't stand to benefit from the study results, right? If 80% of people get better from using a specific dietary approach but it doesn't have tons of studies to back it up, does it negate the outcomes?
Who's evidence?
