The entire of notion of diets is based the purported "psuedo-science" due to a lack of signal in available statistical data. Despite attempted studies, there are almost always too many hidden correlating variables, too short of a sample time, and too few subjects to measure whether or not a given dietary approach has any benefits over another. However, in the absence of such information, one should follow Occam's razor and prefer the simpler solution: natural, unprocessed food is what humans have always eaten and is the best to continue eating. The alternative is almost always to prefer a diet heavy on food has been treated with chemicals, or has made it through a factory at some point (grains and every packaged food that is eaten). Whole Foods strives to provide more naturally risen meats, fruits and vegetables which is highly commendable.
