We won't get anything decent out of diet and mainstream science, because the crapheads want depopulation and folk dying of premature cancer and various diseases.
Plus it becomes complicated because healthy centennials were known sometimes to live off purely plants, others of meats and wines. The only thing certain is that you need lots of nutrients (often supplements unless you have super-nutrient dense foods) and you need to have a low caloric input/intermittent fasting also helping.
Anything else - is insanely diverse. Some centennial tribes were living healthy on a diet of mostly potatoes, others were having wine, local pork and fish and Sicilian bread.
That just makes this whole stuff impossibly confusing. Obviously different diets work for different people, but it's not easy to run a controlled diet experiment on your body - how much time should we give each combination, what about eating out/socializing, and there are outside factors that can affect us outside of diet.
Actually it's easy enough. Get 100.000 folk in each country with various diets, let them take an exact list of what they eat, test them regularly for years.
World governments spend plenty of crap on studies of why lesbians are fat (500.000$ on that) or on various feminist studies. It's not that difficult - then get control groups you pay for extreme diets. There are a ton of people willing to do those kind of things.
By now world data should have millions of entries giving us a better picture of what is healthy and isn't.
That is if mankind and our kind rulers were interested in that - which of course they are not - and neither are the interest groups in Big Pharma, Big Agro.
And they certainly don't want to pay pensions until 120. Life expectancy by the way has been dropping since the 1990s - heh: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23126814

They are long dead - that's where they are.
That's a fair point. If the government was genuinely interested in solving this issue they could very well design a massive experiment. I'm just saying that as an individual it's hard to navigate the info out there given the amount of deliberate misinformation.
I'm hoping that big data and AI/machine learning could play a role in helping people figure out what diets are best for them.
Either way, as an individual, what's the best thing to try right now outside of the standard advice of cutting out sugar, processed food, and simple carbohydrates?
