I interviewed David L. Katz, MD, MPH—founder of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, past president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and the author of the best-selling book "What to Eat?

He's spent 30 years studying one question: What should humans actually eat?

His answer? Poor diet is now the leading cause of premature death in the U.S.

So what's the solution?

Dr. Katz shocked me with his simplicity. Here's what delivers 80% of the health benefits:

Replace meat with beans (even just sometimes)

Eat a mixed green salad daily

Drink water when you're thirsty

That's it. Beans. Salad. Water.!

His philosophy: "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much."

Simple. Evidence-based. Proven in every Blue Zone where people live longest.

The truth: You don't need a PhD. in nutrition. You need beans, salad, and water.

The rest is noise.
