Modern diets do not help people stay in their healthy weight range, and, according to Israeli researchers, this situation is not so surprising.

Experts from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot monitored the blood sugar level of 800 participants during the week. They found that even if all volunteers consumed the same food, they eventually showed different test results, as the metabolic rate varied from person to person. In other words, what can be healthy for you is not necessarily as useful for someone else.

Monitoring individual reactions to the intake of certain foods also gave some interesting results. In one case, the researchers found that a middle-aged woman with obesity and diabetes who fought them for a long time with diets showed bursts of blood sugar after she ate tomatoes.

The authors of the study classified her for this vegetable as unhealthy.

"Dietary recommendations can not be universal: between people there are significant physiological differences, so in some cases, diets can even give the opposite result," says lead author of the study Eran Segal. His findings, published in the journal Cell, he supplemented the summary, according to which universal nutrition recommendations can be "limitedly useful in the real world".
