I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Wouldn't a doctor be a good person to ask what's good for you? amazon has about 50,000 different diet books, it's really not obvious what's "right". Even the glorious USDA has a lot of industry influence in what it recommends/accepts. The food plate is better than the water, kale, and doughnut diet, but it has its own issues. so, yeah, for a general practice they should probably talk about quitting smoking, getting exercise, avoiding being overweight, guns, etc. pretty much anything on the top 10[1] seems like a good idea.
