I often start with the last paragraph and work my way up until I get the gist of it. Works remarkably well!

It's the New Yorker.

The entire gist of the article is that nutrition cannot be executive-summarized and that it is likely the confluence of many many factors that determine how our diet affects our health.

But that's provably wrong, so the article is incorrect in its entirety then?

Here's the executive summary:

1. Do not eat more calories than you need. 2. Exercise 3 times a week (or more if you have time and enjoy it), with moderate intensity 3. Ensure that most of your meals follow a good macro nutrient profile (but if you have to cut something, do it in carbs --> fat --> protein order)

Not sure why people have such difficulty grasping those concepts and will come up with statistically irrelevant anecdotes in futile attempts to prove the main concepts wrong.
