Diet mortality is quantified three ways in Part I and the figures are large. Research from the Friedman School at Tufts indicates poor eating habits cause nearly one thousand deaths each day in the United States from diabetes, stroke or heart disease. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found increased consumption of processed food associated with a 14 percent increase in risk of all-cause mortality. And a Lancet study found that in 2017 one in five deaths globally were associated with poor diet. Part I also notes that poorer underlying health partly explains higher coronavirus death rates in America and Europe than in Africa.
