Is There a Perfect Diet?

There is no one diet that is perfect for everyone, but that is mainly because not everyone is healthy. Fortunately, healthy people are generally alike in their dietary requirements. We can identify a diet that is very good for nearly everyone, and can tweak that diet in various ways to help diagnose and heal diseases.

What is a perfect diet for a human?
