Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's not everyday an issue of Science contains articles about newly discovered "fresh" impact craters (Hiawatha) or fingers the source of the worst year to be alive (534 in case you're time traveling).
But the same issue has these open (no paywall) articles summarizing what we do know about eating and living long healthy lives.
Quick takeaways:
- The 1977 guidelines that we all grew up with were written by politicians, not scientists.
- Trans-fats are bad, no matter what.
- Intermittent fasting can help your brain, kidneys, chemotherapy effectiveness and recovery, AND encourage weight loss.
- Refined sugars and carbs are generally bad for you.
There's way more than any summary can contain. In fact, almost every section of these four meta-articles could be their own discussion topic.
Since I care for all of you, I want you all to be as healthy and live as long as you want. These articles contain the state of-the-art on how to do that through proper eating habits.
Optimizing the diet.

The only way is to make sure it never went in in the first place.
In other words, you have to PREPARE YOUR OWN FOOD.
More work than buying readymade food, but for health, it is a must.

No need for preparation. Drink water, eat vegetables.

I confess myself disappointed.
As a sheep, you should promote a healthy grass diet, not vegetables.
Unless, shrewd consideration, you want to reduce the competition on your lawn dinner.

*sigh*
Grass: animal, vegetable, or mineral?
I should probably apologize for being serious when you're being funny, but, I can't help wondering how many might not catch on.

yes, stop buying processed food like products and eat actual food.

Look at the nutrition information, specifically grams of sugar per 100g (not the "per serving" crap). Only buy food where it's low.
Pretty straightforward really.
