400,000 Americans die each year from unscientific eating

Unconditional eating habits cause more than 400,000 deaths a year in the United States due to cardiovascular disease and related diseases. This is the conclusion of American scientists in the study published March 9.

At the American Heart Association meeting held in Portland, Oregon, scientists warned Americans eating food that contained too much salt, fat and sugar, while eating too little fruit, vegetables and grains.
