Unless considerable time and effort is spent learning about nutrition, the superficial viewpoint will never fully uncover the secrets it possesses. One great example of this is how the nutritional component within foods change over time. Looking at a particular food at time point A can give a different picture of the same frood at time point B. Bananas for example when unripe and high in starch. As the banana ripens the starch is converted to sugar and therefore the nutritional quality of the banana changes. This can have significant effects on the consumer as not only are the macronutrients they ingest different, but those macronutrients affect metabolism in different ways. Another great example of this are fatty acids, that slowly degrade over time and become rancid. A healthy food at time point A, can therefore become an unhealthy food at time point B. Understanding the changing nutrition of foods is part of understanding nutrition, and without this knowledge, the one-size fits all advice will likely mislead the consumer to ill health.
