Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have found that dietary patterns high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins (such as the Mediterranean and DASH diets) are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes compared to Western-style diets high in processed foods, red meat, and added sugars. Lupus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis are autoimmune diseases that may be affected by diet, but there is less research on specific dietary patterns for these conditions. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is typically not preventable through diet.
