How can nutritional science be made more accurate?

I'm focused more on doctors who, in the past, would advise their patients to reduce fat and caloric intake to lose weight. For the past 20 years or so, doctors have started advising their patients to go on low carb diets instead.

Then, you have conflicting findings in published studies. One study will tell you that artificial sweeteners will not raise your blood sugar levels and another study will tell you that a few of them will. These are peer-reviewed articles!

That's simple, if you look up med school curriculum, most only take 1 nutrition course. It's a shame, because they have the scientific knowledge to really do some good- but it falls flat since they aren't really taught. Interestingly, there are some med schools that are integrating nutrition AND cooking into their electives.
