As has been pointed out, a lifetime of eating all these and more food will catch to "most" people, not "all" people. It will make your later years less healthy and productive and a series of daily pills like my mother took after a lifetime of poor health choices.
That said, for every recommendation or rule, there is always an exception that we all can think of. We all know the folks who have smoked for decades and never had a cold, let alone lung cancer.
And - I stopped drinking soda most of the time decades ago and lost ten pounds in two months. I stopped hydrogenated oils decades ago and I lost more weight and my skin cleared up and my cholesterol dropped.
I don't eat popcorn much anymore because at my age the stuff gets stuck in my gums!
Anyway, everything in moderation. Life is a journey, and the recommendations are trying to make it a better one. It is our choice to eat better or not.
