Is too much information a good thing? I just read an article that was a bit of a spoof on healthy eating, but in this tongue-in-cheek article, there was some truth. (http://www.nwedible.com/2012/08/tragedy-healthy-eater.html) We tend to worry too much about everything. Education is a good thing. There is a lot out there to be wary of. However, I would like to stress that you do what you can, what you have control over, then don't worry about the rest.
If something makes you feel ill, stop doing it. Get in touch with your body and listen to what it is telling you. We are usually addicted to those foods we actually have an intolerance to. Sugar in the right form is actually good for you. Gluten can be beneficial to many. Oils are necessary. Meat even has it's place (did the vegetarian just say that?).
You don't have to live like a caveman or deprive yourself of everything. Find that lifestyle that works for you. Use your brain to control your stomach. Yes, you can control how you feel. You have to decide how far you are willing to go with it. How good do you want to feel. Educate yourself, but don't go crazy. There is a balance. Only you can find that balance for yourself. This from a person who is still struggling to find my own balance (curse that chocolate...)
