Eat a Variety of Foods You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health and no single food can supply them all. Today's food supply makes it easy to eat a wide variety of foods whether or not you are buying fresh foods to cook, taking advantage of ready-prepared dishes and meals or buying "take-away" foods. Balance your choice over time! If you have a high-fat lunch, have a low-fat dinner. If you eat a large serving of meat at dinner one day, perhaps choose fish the next day.

On 11 November 2011, the European Union granted final regulatory approval for the use of stevia extracts (steviol glycosides) in foods and beverages.

Stevia leaves contain natural sweeteners, called steviol glycosides. The two main sweet-tasting components are stevioside and rebaudioside A, which are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and therefore they can be used to sweeten food without providing calories. Steviol glycosides offer the additional appeal that they are entirely of plant origin, just like sugar.
