New research suggests that moderate beer consumption could be beneficial for gut health, similar to probiotics. Beer contains bacteria that boost the intestinal microbiome and anti-inflammatory polyphenols that combat various health issues. Popcorn, often considered a junk food, is actually rich in fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. Potatoes can be made healthier by cooling them before consumption, converting carbs into slowly digestible and gut-friendly resistant starch. Dairy milk is a good source of iodine, essential for thyroid health, while chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is high in flavonoids that combat toxins. Homemade pizza, especially with unrefined flour and fresh toppings, can be a nutritious way to enjoy this classic dish.
So, protip here: food is never inherently bad, because we're omnivorous. We can eat a lot of things, what matter is a balance so we have all the necessary nutrients. That balance doesn't need to be in one day, you can do it over the week.
There is some bad food still. The bad food is the overprocessed food. Soda beverages for example are mostly processed sugar and water, so you'll only get energy out of it and no nutrients. Overly processed food is often this way : too much raw sugar or fat. You need the things around it for the nutrients.
See the NOVA ratings to know about how processed the food is. Basically, group 4 is the bad one and is the one to avoid.
Yet another article going "thing people like has this one good effect! (and we deliberately ignore the other bad effects)". The science equivalent of click bait.
