I've enjoyed Healthcare Triage on Youtube hosted by Dr. Aaron Carroll. He takes short looks at health science news that has made headlines and then looks at what the research actually says. Lots of talk about the different ways that statistics don't mean what people think they mean and which ones are likely to be the most relevant. Also how different kinds of research articles can tell us different kids of things. (experiments in animals vs people, review articles, clinical trials etc etc) He also has a book called 'The Bad Food Bible'. While I haven't read it, I generally trust that he's going to tell you exactly why he's said X is likely ok/good for you and link to the research to back it up.
