Ask Dr. Nandi: What we aren't eating is killing us, global study finds

What you’re not eating could be killing you. In fact, a poor diet is being blamed for more deaths worldwide than smoking and high blood pressure. This was a very interesting study. When the researchers looked at dietary trends for 195 countries, they found three risk factors that were more dangerous than diets high in red and processed meats, trans fats and sugary-filled drinks. And those three risks factors were: not eating enough fruit, not eating enough whole grains and eating too much sodium.
