Sorry but the headline was a red herring. Since, there is, in fact, no ideal food for everyone.
Most people take their health for granted and only give it an afterthought when they feel malaise or come down with a seasonal bug. The new media blitz concerning obesity and health concerns in the nation is making these once oblivious citizen want one-size-fits-all miracle diet cures. They plead, "What should I eat?" Rather, that observing and monitoring their own body's reactions to foods they want to be told by an "expert" what they should eat and what to avoid. The problem is "scientific studies" seem to constantly be giving the public contradictory information about saturated fats, sugar, GMOs, soy, etc. The reason why results keep running the gamut is because human beings just aren't all intrinsically identical. Each of us has a unique genetic makeup with individual needs and preferences.
A number of theories have sprung up around this growing awareness, such as Dr. Paul D'Adamo's blood type diet and metabolic testing. I'm not saying one or the other is correct but just be wary the next time CNN tells you to avoid a certain food or to indulge in a certain food. It may or may not be suited to you, depending upon your individual makeup.

Note: I have no personal relationship nor affiliation with the individuals mentioned in this entry. I have posted information from Dr. Mercola's Nutritional Typing, Dr. Paul D'Adamo's Blood Type Diet, and Underground Wellness' Metabolic Typing not to endorse any of these theories/products but just for information. I, for one, do not use any of these programs. I merely try to be in tune with my body's innate intelligence and eat accordingly.
