I can drink wine with this, right?
A glass or two of red wine 3-4 nights a week is absolutely fine.

European flour/wheat products are far easier on the gut as well. Much more pure than the shite we peddle here.

Any reputable sources for this belief?
I'm no expert. What I know is mostly from podcasts.. For instance, Bill Harris, a fat expert and the foremost expert on Omega-3's, believes the seed oil hate is way overblown.
By all means avoid processed food and use olive/avocado oil for most of your cooking. I do. But a little (or even alot) of corn/soybean isn't going to hurt you unless its rancid or your diet is awful.

Which "belief"? That we should eat an ancestral diet?

Seed oils begin going rancid (oxidizing) within days of production. That's the big problem with them in the first place. If one says "eat seed oils unless they're rancid" one might as well just say "don't eat seed oils."
ETA: I do use some olive/avocado oil sometimes but you have to be careful because many of them are adulterated with seed oils. For example, a UC Davis study showed that every brand of avocado oil except two brands were adulterated with seed oils and partially rancid (One of the good brands is Chosen Foods which I buy). However most of the time I use animal fats from animals with proper ancestral diets. Grassfed butter, ghee, tallow, usually and sometimes duck fat as well.

lol Keep telling yourself that fanta with "actual sugar" is good for you.
Never said it was good for me, not a big soft drink fan anyway. However, it is undeniably "better" for you than corn syrup.

Sucrose (what someone would call "actual sugar") is 50/50 glucose/fructose. HFCS 55 is what is used in beverages, and is 45/55 glucose/fructose. It's worse, but not really that much so.
The biggest problem with HFCS is that it's extremely cheap to produce and therefore it became very cheap for food processors to put tons of it in everything.

a reduction of body weight by just 1% reduced attenuated brain aging
so a 300 lb person losing just 3 lbs
now how about that person losing 50 lb? or 100 lbs?
the correlation here is how obesity might affect dementia and/or alzheimers
but yeah "whoop dee fricking doo"

I like eating green vegetables and fruit but I must have some beef and eggs to go with it.

During my deployment to Iraq in '03-'04, I fell in love w/the Mediterranean/Mid Eastern cuisine.
It really is one of the best diets out there, and the food is good to boot.
