My basic approach: take before-and-after blood tests (30 days and 60 days later) and see what actually happens. The research papers hold up surprisingly infrequently on a person-by-person basis. Test smart and track yourself and you’ll be just fine. Tim Ferriss

I think this blinding flash of the obvious (BFO) that will change the entire diet discussion within a year or two. Instead of relying on obscure statistics inappropriately applied to large populations, we can perform experiments with a population of ONE, the only ONE that matters to us, since we are responsible for and benefit from our own health.
Ten years ago, I don't think anyone could get reasonably priced blood work monthly, but one practitioner I've met has a deal for his clients which allows a full set of blood tests for under $40.
There's also this approach from heartscan blog: Measurement BLUF: you can measure a half dozen key variables in your own home.
Compare that to having to go through an MD filter to get the blood work or the interpretation - these changes will make it possible for us all to raise the BS flag when we're given some limp wristed advice from some well meaning but under-informed scientist/writer/advocate.
