Those women whose diet included lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lentils, beans peas, poultry and fish were classified as following a “prudent” diet. Women who ate more processed and read meats, white pasta, white breads, white rice, desserts, high-fat dairy products and French fries were classified as following a “western” diet.
