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.

So as not to mention transfats on their labels, food companies have made a new invention, the modified fat. These are made by breaking up the triglycerides and letting them recombine randomly.
Now naturally occurring triglycerides have three chains of equal length, and triglycerides of different lengths are metabolized in different parts of the body. No one knows how these ragged triglycerides are processed in the body or where they end up.
Much like no one knew where transfats ended up when they were first inflicted on the population.
