CORENEWS: Bad diets killing more people globally than tobacco, study finds

Eating and drinking better could prevent one in five early deaths, researchers say

Unhealthy diets are responsible for 11m preventable deaths globally per year, more even than smoking tobacco, according to a major study.

But the biggest problem is not the junk we eat but the nutritious food we don’t eat, say researchers, calling for a global shift in policy to promote vegetables, fruit, nuts and legumes.
