Such weight loss schemes are based on the erroneous notion that eating only a few specific foods can lead to better health. On the contrary, says University of Arkansas anthropologist Peter Ungar -- humans evolved to consume the widest possible range of foods, and limiting that variety can lead to serious health risks.
