The World's Best Diet

While watching the television last night I saw a program advertised about the world's best diet.  It sounded interesting so put it on.

The program was called "The World's Best Diet".  It was about the top 50 diets from around the world.  When I say diet I mean the food eaten day to day rather than a fad 3 month lost weight diet!
Jimmy Doherty and Kate Quilton travel around the world looking at different countries, and tribes or groups, and what they eat.  Starting at the worst, number 50, working their way to the best diet, number 1.

It was interesting to see what different countries and cultures eat but there was an interesting point made.  It didn't seem to matter if your diet was lots of fruit and veg or mainly fish, the point made was about processed foods.  All the healthy diets had almost no processed food (commercially prepared food) and the closer to their raw form the better.

Here is a link to the program on channel 4 website: The World's Best Diet
