The Worst Diet? || Your Food and Your Death

Nearly every nation fails to get the right balance of nutrients, whether it's because folks indulge in processed meats and giant sodas or because they lack basic access to nutritious legumes and grains. And according to a new report from the Global Burden of Disease Study, these bad diets are responsible for 11 million deaths worldwide. That's more than any other individual risk factor, including smoking. -- Producer/Video by: Jason Lederman, Tom McNamara Narrator: Jess Boddy Researchers: Sara Chodosh, Rachel Feltman Production Assistant: Alex Schwartz Music: APM Music Media: Prelinger Archives (archive.org), Pond5 -- FOLLOW POPULAR SCIENCE https://www.popsci.com Facebook: http://bit.ly/1mDk8YO Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/popsci Instagram: http://bit.ly/2ieE7iU Snapchat: http://bit.ly/2fSZV2X Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2idLrLJ http://bit.ly/2VMdtR9 Popular Science May 09, 2019 at 01:18PM
