Study Shows Your Bad Diet Is More Dangerous Than Smoking

A lack of eating healthy foods like whole grains, fruit and nuts, and seeds, combined with a high intake of sodium was found to be more dangerous than even trans fats, sugar-sweetened drinks and processed meats, the study published Wednesday in the Lancet said.
Poor diets claimed the lives of around 11 million people globally in 2017 alone, the results showed.
