Permissible does not mean is beneficial

In 1 Corinthians 6:12-13, let nothing master you especially food, money and sex. They are permissible but is beneficial if it controls you.

1 Corinthians 6:12-13
[12]Someone will say, “I am allowed to do anything.” Yes; but not everything is good for you. I could say that I am allowed to do anything, but I am not going to let anything make me its slave.
[13]Someone else will say, “Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food.” Yes; but God will put an end to both. The body is not to be used for sexual immorality, but to serve the Lord; and the Lord provides for the body.
