Powledge examines the multiple controversies over new federal dietary guidelines and suggests that one of the nation's biggest nutrition issues may be devilishly difficult to solve: "A consistent complaint about nutrition science is that one of its most important research tools, what people tell investigators about what they eat, is inherently untrustworthy.
