I feel like this is going to come off pedantic but I think it's the real heart of the issue. Nature doesn't intend shit. Our bodies are a messy junk drawer of evolutionary weirdness spurred on by what resources happened to be available at the time. We're not "made" to eat anything in particular, in fact it's the opposite, we had stuff around and we evolved to get some nutritional benefit from it because it's what was there. We're the garbage disposals of the animal kingdom eating all sorts of random nonsense that's poison to other species. If we could step outside ourselves we'd look on in horror at the roving packs of gaping maws that eat everything in sight. We are frighteningly well adapted to all kinds of random diets. We'll eat whatever nature throws at us, it's what makes us well suited for all seasons and living most anywhere in the world. Trying to crown anything as "best" is like asking a random number generator what number it feels it's most meant to return. In fact just about the only thing that'll do you in is eating the same thing all the time which is why these diets are wild. They appeal to the part of our brains that like to pack things into neat and tidy boxes and build in straight lines rather than embrace the organic mess we are. If your body needs something specific it'll start to crave it. There are bees that evolved to eat the nectar from exactly one species of flower. We aren't that.
