The problem with that approach is that most people, to be blunt, don't have the expertise to actually understand those peer reviewed studies, tell which ones are good and which ones are garbage, know the weaknesses and limitations of each study, and grasp the implications. That's why we have expert authorities to make recommendations based on the current state of the science.
