I don't know if variety is actually the most important thing, but it certainly helps. It's probably more like: 1. Eat whole foods—prioritize nutrient-dense vegetables and some fruit in moderation. 2. If you can, vary your whole foods 3. Try not to eat too much sugar, especially with high triglycerides 4. Try not to eat too much salt, especially with high blood pressure Everything else does seem quite overcomplicated. Nutrition has always been an area rife for capture by grifters, health gurus, and everything in-between.
