Google it and look for articles and research papers from more trustworthy sources like the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, NCBI Published and peer reviewed, etc. And multiple sources if possible.

If it tastes good, you shouldn't eat it.

Foods that are absolutely junk are 'hydrogenated'.
Anything that is 'hydrogenated' food which is the same as 'trans-fat' foods.
Hydrogenated oil makes foods last longer.
The list is LONG and these so-called 'foods' are everywhere.
These are just some of 'em:
*Commercial baked goods, such as cakes, cookies and pies.
*Frozen pizza, microwave popcorn, pre-made biscuits & rolls.
*Most vegetable oils such as canola, sunflower, corn, and especially soybean oil. (Instead go with Olive oil).
*Margarine. Go with real butter.
*Anything with high fructose corn syrup.
I like this guy, gives lots of common sense recommendations.

As far as supplements go, forget 'em. They are a waste of your money.
The only exceptions are Vitamin D3 and B12.
If you must, get one of those nutrient panel tests to see where you lack.

As few ingredients as possible. And if you have trouble pronouncing it, don’t eat it.
There’s a NOLA influencer who says if you don’t recognize it (an ingredient), neither does your body. We try to follow this rule as much as possible.
We don’t buy inflammatory oils. We use avocado and olive oil (only pure blends), coconut oil, grass fed butter or ghee, tallow, duck fat and occasionally bacon grease from fairly clean bacon. Cholesterol and triglycerides dropped like a rock after we made the switch.
We take supplements but not fancy marketed ones and we switch up here and there. Vitamin D/K (chronically low), magnesium, NAC or glutathione on and off, and desiccated liver. All after talking with my Dr after doing my own research.

If I see an add that tells me x is good for me, I guess it all boils down to whether or not to believe it.

It’s damn near impossible and I have been a gym rat but less a health nut for 50 years. Things I have learned:
Trust no one with any ulterior motivation. The paradigm has completely switched for what is good for you to what is bad for you at least 10 times during my lifetime, from low fat, to no sugar, to adkins etc etc.
But simple rule of thumb if you are eating EU food is probably healthy, if it’s American it’s probably bad for you.
Honestly, we are all different eat foods that make you feel better. Like the monks of Chinese Zen dynasty or some crap have said for 5,000 years good is a drug it alters your body, mind and soul
