    Statistics DO help, when you have a feeling, if you have an open mind. In fact, knowledge helps modify behaviour a LOT. I get a lot more out of a video essay from https://nutritionfacts.org/ that actually explains the mechanisms behind nutritional advice vs. just hearing, “You should eat more beans.” Data changes my mind, almost every time.
