Im far from being an expert in this matter, but all signals ive got so far for the past 30 years point to few heuristics:
- having more sugar and more calories intake in general (beyond minimum required by your body) is correlated with having less life span and having more chances of developing severe health issues
- there are no longterm health or lifestyle fixes (mental health included) that are based on eating habits only (the diet can be only a part of the process, and often not even the major one). Despite what pharma and marketers want you to believe
- usually your eating adapts to your lifestyle, behavior and even values, and not the opposite
