I would add that energy balance (i.e. don't get fat) is probably the most important thing, assuming a reasonably healthy diet. Conversely, there's no diet that will save you if you're carrying excess pounds and/or are gaining weight beyond what is the ideal body composition.
Many of the diet studies, as poor as they are, that show beneficial changes due to diet almost always involve fat loss from baseline. Whatever diet can satisfy you and keep the weight down appears to be the local optimum.
Living a life of generally avoiding processed foods and sugar as well as emphasizing lean meats/protein and vegetables is probably the best thing any of us can do for ourselves whatever that combination may look like for an individual.
Anyone who makes a claim that anything specific is beneficial is almost certainly talking out of their ass or selling a product.
Recall the food pyramid, the greatest corporate pseudoscience scam ever pulled.
There was also a generation that was told "butter is bad for your health".
"- hormones from the cows and their supplements is in the milk and impacts our hormone system in negative ways
- antibiotics used excessively in cows are in the milk and have negative affects on an individual level and might also contribute to the bacteria antibiotic arms race
- saturated fats are generally bad and should be minimized in the human diet. Milk is full of them and they are direct causes of heart disease and other top killer health issues for people"
None of this is supported by evidence, picking the last argument as an example:
