There are several popular books that implicate that foods eating in certain combinations can not be handled by our digestive system. According to these books, you need to combine fat, carbohydrate and protein in a specific way - depending on the preference of the author.

However, there is no scientific evidence that any one food should or should not be combined with another. People all over the world have varied diets, based on food availability and culture, and are able to manage the variation.

In fact, some basic foods eaten in our diet are already combinations of fat, protein and carbohydrates. For example milk, a food that we thrive on as babies contains all three nutrients; soy, a staple in the Eastern diet contains all three nutrients.

It is always gratifying to follow a plan to achieve good health, but be wary of misleading claims.
