When I was younger, people went on a diet to lose weight. The word diet was always associated with weight loss.
Over the last few years, I've heard people talk about specific diets to stay healthy, with a concern about diseases and cancer. I've known people that are a specific diet, or avoid certain foods to help prevent cancer.
I have become more and more interested in the topic. Think about all the allergies and intolerance's that people have now. Different illnesses / diseases that weren't heard of years ago.
I recently watched a program on Netflix called 'The Game Changers'. They talk about a plant based diet, and avoiding actual meats. They try to make a point that man was not created to be meat eaters, how unhealthy it is for us, and how we can get our proteins from Vegetables. Numerous athletes and even Arnold Schwarzenegger follow this idea. Arnold didn't start following this until later in life.
Now I'm watching another Netflix program called 'The Magic Pill'. They discuss the ketogenic diet, which is high fat and low carb.
It seems like one contradicts the other.
Still, I do believe that the foods we eat are harming us. And some of our food is not allowed in other countries because they recognize they're harmful:

Does anyone here think about this stuff? Do you follow a specific diet for better health?
