Eating & Cause of Morbidity and Death

Mounting Evidence indicates that modifiable behavioral risk factors drive the leading causes of Mortality in the United States. The Institute of Health  Metrics and Evaluation , in its 2019 Global Burden of Disease Report, analyzed data from more than 190 countries and found what people eat, and fail to eat, is the leading cause of disease and death .

Another Harvard study found that poor nutrition leads to more illness and death than alcohol, drugs, unsafe sex and smoking combines. (Most of this poor nutrition these days is not due to a lack of food but an overabundance and poor choices. )
