The Buddha taught his followers to be balanced in everything they do, and this includes eating. Since each person is different from all others, each person must decide for himself what the best foods for his body are. Generally, processed foods, processed sugars, and artificial ingredients are not good for human health, though they can be tolerated in moderation. Meat eating should be avoided, or at least kept to a minimum. Fresh vegetables and fresh fruits will almost always be beneficial to one's health.
