One in five deaths globally in 2017 occurred because of too much sodium and a lack of whole grains, fruit and nuts and seeds, a study found -- rather than from diets packed with trans fats, sugar-sweetened drinks and high levels of red and processed meats

Which risk factor is responsible for more deaths around the world than any other? Not smoking. Not even high blood pressure. It's a poor diet.

"In many countries, poor diet now causes more deaths than tobacco smoking and high blood pressure," said Ashkan Afshin, an assistant professor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.Drinking two or more diet beverages a day linked to high risk of stroke, heart attacksAnd it's not just that people are choosing unhealthy options such as red meat and sugary sodas.

"Refining grains is highly profitable," Hawkes said."Take corn, for example. You can refine it into different ingredients: animal feed, refined flours and high-fructose corn syrup to name three. So manufacturers are generating multiple value streams from this refining process.

Interesting, so you’re saying this population data indicates causality. Congrats CNN, you’ve graduated to the level of random ignorant internet troll.

TheLancet I add extra salt to my diet would never eat grains . 59 years old and doing a 15 mile SpartanRace the end Of this month. Agree no bad seed oils or trans fats . Bench press 335 and deadlift 500 .

Like legit can you guys not? I doesn’t seem like it. You can’t even stop lying when it comes to diet. Why are you even still around?

Please stop lying.

To eliminate all food problems with 30 G of good fat cruciferous vegetables only organic moderate protein with beans no nitrates no commercial Meats must be grass-fed organic a person can survive on one meal a day without hurting the human body

When you buy organic multigrain it has to be in the freezer section where there's no preservatives fructose corn syrup no trash whatsoever in the bread and it's the only bread that does not turn to sugar

All to keep golden mean at the proper point is all good. Golden mean between input force and output force in the fulcrum.

But we have a created a urban socioeconomic model which is entirely dependent on 'others' to provide every essential need a human being requires? This is unsustainable in the natural world.

How long until you clowns at CNN roll out Don Lemon to claim this dietary issue is due to dangerous white men electing Trump, while ignoring climate change?

Yes CNN, and who owns these bad for our health foods?

Only one in five that’s the same as the 1 dentist that doesnt recommend Crest!!!!! Not to shabby!

Carbs bad carbs

😂😂😂😂 and one in five death occurred because we are human.... 😂😂😂😂😂

*honk* *honk*

Ok cool, trans fats, soda, red meat here I come. Was just hanging back waiting for the green light. Oh.... Diabetes. Well I guess getting whittled away from my great toe to eventual above the knee amputation isn't that bad.

We are all going to die in 12 years anyway according to the 'experts'. Might as well load up on Ribeyes and Root Beer Baby.

Must mean we need more common sense food laws...

Simple prevention is very cheap. Good story. Heart disease diverts from vital equipment and the funding of competitive genetic medicine research programmes. cnnhealth

So a plant-based diet is the best. American Heart Association has adopted it based on studies done by Dr Dean Ornish MD.

Can you share the numbers?

Vegan...save yourself a lot of pain and money..save the planet and animals. Win-win..yaaa

We’re all gonna die, get over it, you may expand your lifetime for a little bit but that’s it. Confront your own mortality.

So, now it's salt, soft drinks, fats, sugar, and all meats the left want to eliminate from our diets. By the time they're done, we'll be lucky to have a glass of water with a handful of grass and some tree bark for dinner.
