Guilt by Association

If you probably shouldn't eat foods loaded with rancid soybean oil
And soybean oil is a rich source of linoleate
Then you should avoid any nutritious, whole food like nuts that are also a good source of linoleate

If you probably shouldn't swill sugar-sweetened beverages
And sugar-sweetened beverages are a rich source of fructose
Then you should avoid any nutritious, whole food like fruit that is also a good source of fructose

If you probably shouldn't be eating a box of Twinkies for lunch
And Twinkies are a rich source of carbohydrates
Then you should avoid any nutritious, whole food like potatoes that are also a good source of carbohydrates

If you probably shouldn't be constantly running marathons
And marathons are a rich source of aerobic exercise
Then you should avoid any healthy activity that is also a good source of aerobic exercise

Seems legit.
