About 11 million people eat themselves into early graves each year — but the riskiest diet habits may come as a surprise.
“While sodium, sugar and fat have been the focus of policy debates over the past two decades, our assessment suggests the leading dietary risk factors are high intake of sodium, or low intake of healthy foods, such as whole grains, fruit, nuts and seeds, and vegetables,” concluded study author Dr. Christopher Murray from the University of Washington. The study was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Ten million of 2017’s diet-related deaths were from cardiovascular disease; cancer accounted for 913,000 deaths, and Type 2 diabetes was responsible for 339,000 deaths. But the diet gaps differed by country. Razo also noted that while Mexico produces fresh fruits and vegetables, like avocados, those health crops tend to be distributed more to countries like the U.S. than they are distributed in local cities. The U.S. gets almost 90% of its avocados from Mexico.
I’m surprised it’s only 1 in 5.
