Rudolph Steiner did entire symposiums on that very subject and he was a rather scientific minded human being if not a bit unique in his teachings. I feel they made sense and I agree with most of them concerning the body knowing what it wants and why. he also believed that foods that we need for certain body functions through their cooresponding organs, look like what they heal. As in nuts and nut oils being optimal for brain function. Ever look at a walnut? Read his books. "From Cocaine to Comets" is one that comes to mind off hand.
