Scientists reveal ‘ideal diet’ for peoples’ and planet’s health

By Kate Kelland, Health and Science Correspondent LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Scientists have unveiled what they say is an ideal diet for the health of the planet and its people - including a doubling of consumption of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes, and a halving of meat and sugar intake. If the world followed the "Planetary Health" diet, the researchers said, more than 11 million premature deaths could be prevented each year, while greenhouse gas emissions would be cut and more land, water and biodiversity would be preserved.
