No ingredient is healthy or unhealthy. Diet can be that or not. Having more vitamins, or other stuff means nothing. Body thrives on variability not on some optimality based on nutrient amounts.
- izzydata 7y agoCan there not exist some concoction of every possible nutrient the body needs in ideal proportions to where you would never need to consume anything else?
- ChuckMcM 7y agoSoylent certainly thinks so.
- 0xffff2 7y agoYou would still have to regulate amount. Even if such a concoction existed, too much or too little would still be unhealthy.
- neaden 7y agoThat assumes your bodies need is static, but unless you are living in a place without seasons, consistently exercising the exact same amount, and not aging, that is not going to be true.
- perl4ever 7y agoI always thought there was an evolutionarily produced tendency to not want to eat the same thing all the time, because if you rely on one food type from one source, no matter how good it is, you risk something going wrong with it that you don't sense. So I would think that even if you came up with the scientifically "perfect" food, it wouldn't take long before most people felt ill at the sight.
