Résumé : Food intake is expected to cover our basal requirements in energy, proteins, minerals, vitamins, trace elements and water. As it has been already suggested by Hippocrates, food can play a role in preventing but also in caring some diseases. The type of diet has medical, mediatic, economic and cultural implications. Many diets are recommended but only a few of them have been validated. The fight against obesity has also created a lot of diet for losing weight. This article is a critical review of some diet in the domain of cancer, gluten sensitivity, irritable bowel syndrome and therapeutic fasting.
