The problem is, for every well-done study that shows correct information, there are 10-20 horribly done studies, manipulated to show what "everyone knows" about nutrition. You can even look at the exact same study, and see how its figures are twisted and manipulated to show what they want. If you leave the figures alone, it's a completely different outcome.

As long as that continues, it will still be "everyone knows" salt is bad for you, "everyone knows" fat makes you fat, "everyone knows" etc. Meanwhile, we get fatter and sicker than ever before, dying from diseases that never existed just decades ago
