Nutrition and the endocannabinoid system.
Nutrition science grew up around deficiency disease: scurvy, rickets, pellagra. Its working question is whether a missing nutrient makes you ill. Whether you are nourished enough to stay resilient is a different question, and the author's word for the gap between the two is suffericency.
A working suspicion, offered as one and not as a finding: that the populations nutrition science measured were not fed some of what the body uses, so "normal" may be a reading of an unfed baseline, and the science of the fed state is not yet written. If that held, reclassification would reach past food, to how some chronic diseases are described. It is not in the ledger because it does not yet have a condition that would defeat it.
The papers in this thread are reviews and hypotheses, and none of it is tested on this site. The authors' own Preprint 5 reports that the essentiality criteria are not met.
Nothing here is medical advice, and nothing here says to start, stop or change a treatment.
