Good For You
It seems that there is always a current “what we thought was good for you, isn't”. Something that was considered healthy and even recommended, suddenly falls out of favor.
Low dose aspirin. Take one a day. Now, not so good for you. Don't take low dose aspirin. Talk to your doctor.
Coffee. Doesn't count toward your necessary daily fluid consumption. Now it does.
Caffeine? --- I’m not sure what the latest is.
Chocolate? Good for you, but stay away from milk chocolate. Or did I hear that even milk chocolate is good for you?
...and every one of these claims is backed by the “latest scientific research”.
Now that's certainly reassuring!

Of course, those proscriptions turned out to be bad science; the USDA was apparently duped into embracing the findings of one very charismatic researcher. I find this to be extremely disturbing.
Now the enemy is carbs and highly processed foods. Next thing we'll be told is that carbs are great and Slim Jims are the new quinoa... I'll take my New York Strip medium rare, please.
