                                According to the American Heart Association, there is no evidence that greater overall dietary diversity promotes healthy weight, and in fact, some studies show it can lead to increased food consumption. This dispels the myth that more variety always means healthier, shifting the focus to what truly makes a single meal nutritionally superior.
