Nasa and the DoD have done a fair amount of research into Diet and found it's mostly not that complex of an issue assuming you eat a verity of foods, have plenty of exercise, and a reasonable caloric intake.
Humans are omnivores with the ability to create most important vitamins, other than 2 major vitamin issues, C because we can't create it and cooking food destroys it, and D because we need sunlight to create it. There are also plenty of individuals with specific food issues. But, consider while eventually it will kill you, a healthy person with a good died can have zero vitamin C intake for a month with no noticeable side effects. http://idlewords.com/2010/03/scott_and_scurvy.htm
PS: I think the real issue is the assumption that the perfect diet is going to some sort of fortified bean paste. Simply picking a random ethnic food at each meal is a much better option.
