Remember, the point of reporting today is not to inform, but to gain clicks.

Yeah I think it was more of a hyperbolic comment to the reporter rather than an official recommendation. He thinks we should eat more greens and less fried stuff, which is in line with pretty much every nutritional guideline out there

At least for empirical research, I would go even further and say that most individual studies don't hold much weight and that the authors of such studies shouldn't receive too much credence until their findings have been replicated multiple times by independent researchers.
