Since nutrients, as compared with foods, are invisible and therefore slightly mysterious, it falls to the scientists {and to the journalists through whom the scientists reach the public} to explain the hidden reality of foods to us. In form this is a quasireligious idea, suggesting the visible world is not the one that really matters, which implies the need for a priesthood. For to enter a world where your dietary salvation depends on unseen nutrients, you need plenty of expert help.
