There may be no esoteric magic bullet for many degenerative diseases, agreed. And it's different strokes for different folks as well, meaning that biochemical individuality may dictate different treatments for the same condition in different people.
We eat many things so we may have to seek balance rather than special substance or substances to maintain optimum health.
However some things getting into food, or many things and the combination of them, co-inciding with sedentary behaviour throughout life may conspire to sabotage our plans to achieve balance. It behooves the scientific nutritionist to test many things, with an eye on genetic differences, in order to establish efficacies in diet for the many and the few.
Fructose corn syrup, trans fats, and high carbohydrate load are suspected culprits in what is evidently an out-of-balance population.
One thing I advocate is/are population study(ies) to determine how diets affected different groups at different times. Diet alone and the substances in the food as it was grown, and harvested, prepared, the soil it was farmed in, may elucidate major components of the long term health equation.
