GENEVA, May 21 � After months of negotiations with sugar-producing countries, the World Health Organization reached tentative agreement on Friday on a set of recommendations to help millions of people avoid obesity and other chronic diseases through a healthy diet.

The recommendations include strictly limiting fat, salt and sugar.

The plan was requested by governments to help them set health policies to combat rising rates of obesity, heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes, which the W.H.O. says account for 60 percent of the world's deaths.

The World Health Assembly, an annual meeting of the world's health ministers in Geneva that sets W.H.O. policy, is expected to endorse the recommendations on Saturday.
