Unsustainable dietary diets are killing one in five people

Food is taking prematurely to the tomb of 11 million people, says a study of the highly influential magazine "The Lancet". Her careful analysis shows that our daily diet is a killer bigger than smoking, blamed for one in five deaths across the globe.

Salt, whether in bread, soy sauce or processed meat, results in what has cut more lives. Compilers insist that this study is not about obesity, but the low quality of nutritional diets that damage the heart and cause tumor. After salt, responsible for 3 million deaths comes scarce consumption of whole grains, low fruit consumption and in the end the fact that people do not eat enough vegetables, nuts, fiber and do not get Omega 3 from seafood. Of the 11 million deaths associated with food, 10 mln were a consequence of cardiovascular disease and this explains why salt is the main problem. Mediterranean countries, especially France and Spain, as well as Israel, have the smallest number of such deaths in the world, while the other side of the spectrum lies in the countries of South East, South and Central Asia.
