They could even do double-blind studies on things that are not ingestable, like sunlight, doing enough exercise, getting enough rest, etc., etc.
Is there any great mystery as to the health benefits of each of those items you mentioned that has gone unanswered?
Undoubtedly resources are commonly committed where there is opportunity for a return on that investment, but there are decades of research (and plenty of anecdotes too!) on each of the items you mentioned. I just don’t think they are packaged in a way you like.
I think of myself as a skeptic when it comes to healthcare and healthcare professionals - mostly because of the bravado and certainty healthcare professionals exude regarding the actual utility of what they think they know (which is, embarrassingly, not much much more than your average self-aware and discerning Joe or Jane Public). But even as skeptical as I am, I think you characterize healthcare, healthcare professionals, and the business of healthcare too cynically.
