The fact that one thing is good for you, doesn't mean that the second thing that is ALSO good for you means nothing.

Taking fish oil every day will benefit your health. That doesn't mean you shouldn't eat fruits & vegetables.

Not eating beef, a food, will benefit your health. That doesn't mean you should just give up beef and eat anything else you want, Twinkies included.

Whatever you can name to eat, drink, or ingest for health, there is always something that at some time, someone, somewhere thinks is better, or has proven is better.

Being free of stress is good for your health. But that is not food, either.
