Here's an easier answer: eat real food, not to much, mostly vegetables. Happy mr/mrs practically extreme lib?

You've just played the no true scotsman on me. Well done!

It's a pretty easy choice for me: I literally eat no food with added chemicals. I simply don't know what is good and what is bad because I've given up following research and meta-studies. There is literally no way to be informed, even if I had a PhD and spent a lifetime studying nutrition and the relevant sciences.

Know what the easy answer is? I'm vegan. I literally eat nothing with added preservatives or chemicals. Nothing. Except when I got to restaurants every now and then, and I don't know what's in the food I ordered. But it isn't 12 meals a year that change you, it is 1,000 meals a year.

It is trivial for me to bypass the good/bad chemical debate.
