The internet doesn't work. Computers don't work. Cars don't work. Planes don't fly. The moon doesn't exist. Trans fats are totally healthy. The Earth is flat. 

Food science is relatively new, it's not surprising some studies report X and other studies report Y. Scientific inferences are merely best explanations for a given set of data. Given set A one team derives X, given set B another team derives Y. 

Stay in school kids!

The internet has improved, as have computers, cars, and planes. Food science and other forms of science are just in a cycle of constantly disproving things that were apparently proven 5-10 years before. You don't see people realizing that 10 gigs of ram is not, in fact, better than 5 gigs of ram so that isn't comparable.

I trust you're intelligent enough to realize that merely because one particular study is controverted in a particular field of science does not mean that an entire field of scientific discovery is null and void? Surely you aren't so naive as to draw such an invalid inference?

Suppose tomorrow Einstein's theory of relativity is controverted, do we throw out the entirety of physics? Of course not; it would be utterly asinine to do so.

If you're under the misapprehension that the fields of biology and genetics are "constantly disproving themselves" then I would implore you to actually enroll in a University of your choice and actually pursue a degree in said fields. The bounty of known science in these particular fields is truly astounding, most of which has stood firm for eons.
