Only published data on medical foods role in any kind of disease and health physiology and health pathology available globally from both developed and developing countries was included and analyzed in our study. All sort of unpublished data as well as medical foods biochemical studies were excluded from our study. Results: Analysis of 50 articles out of 150 articles searched revealed that; Medical foods research is concentrated mainly in developed countries (e.g. USA), with very few research in context of developing countries such as India (86% Vs 04%).The highest number of publications were from year 2012(26%) and belonged to English language(98%).
