Conclusions 72 Considering the wide variety of culturally specific foods, rice, corn, wheat Differences in culinary practices Italian, French, Asian, African Differences in foods determined by religion Difference in foods by ethnic origin Yet the definition of a healthy diet is the same world wide. This has never been seen before! Eat mostly whole grains, fruits and vegetables Eat sufficient protein and dairy foods Limit food high in sugar, fat and salt
