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:
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.

> he worst addictions I ever witness in my life include addictions to food
The problem with food addiction is that you can't go "cold turkey". It's a lot easier to give something up if you can, well, give it up. Completely.
Try telling a heroin addict that they really need to stop doing so much heroin... but they can't stop completely, they have to just cut down to three moderate doses per day.

Right you are! I can't see anyone developing a food addiction to something as bland as cold turkey.

After about a week of nothing but turkey, that distinctive turkey flavor starts to taste horrible. One year my dad got a 20lb turkey for Thanksgiving (and my sisters are both vegetarians, and my mom went to visit her parents after Thanksgiving). It was at least 6 months before I could stomach turkey again.

It's not just flavor. I used to raise turkeys. They smell like that in real life
