In 2017, eleven million deaths worldwide were linked to people eating diets high in sugar, salt and processed meat. Those foods were partly to blame for heart disease, cancer and diabetes, a new study found. The study is called the Global Burden of Disease. It followed eating trends in 195 countries from 1990 to 2017. The findings were reported in the publication The Lancet. Researchers considered 15 dietary elements, such as diets low in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and milk. They also looked at diets high in red meat, processed meat, sugar-sweetened drinks and sodium. The study found that Uzbekistan had the highest percentage of diet-related deaths. Israel had the lowest proportion of diet-related deaths, while the United States rated 43rd in the study.
