“Good” foods that were under-eaten include: nuts and seeds, seafood rich in omega-3 fats including salmon and sardines; fruits and vegetables; and whole grains.
“Bad” foods or nutrients that were over-eaten include salt and salty foods; processed meats including bacon, bologna and hot dogs; red meat including steaks and hamburgers; and sugary drinks.
The research is based on U.S. government data showing there were about 700,000 deaths in 2012 from heart disease, strokes and diabetes and on an analysis of national health surveys that asked participants about their eating habits. Most didn’t eat the recommended amounts of the foods studied.
The 10 ingredients combined contributed to about 45 percent of those deaths, according to the study.
...
The results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Micha said the foods and nutrients were singled out because of research linking them with the causes of death studied. For example, studies have shown that excess salt can increase blood pressure, putting stress on arteries and the heart. Nuts contain healthy fats that can improve cholesterol levels, while bacon and other processed meats contain saturated fats that can raise levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol.

Bacon is death.....tasty, tasty death.
My research shows that those 700,000 people were going to die eventually anyway.
Yet somehow life expectancy continues to grow . . .
I always refer back to Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper, which makes fun of the health food approach in a very clever way.
The movie also has a great scene when he awakens 200 years in the future and is asked to play archaeologist by the doctors who unfreeze him.
I hit 60 this month, I don’t care, time to start eating bacon, smoking cigarettes and having a cocktail- and thats gonna be breakfast.
I am studying whether Bacon on a cheeseburger with a cold beer cancels the negative effects of bacon.
I should have the result in another 20 or so years.
Yes, even death itself.
Maybe those bacon eaters died by the hands of a muzzie.
Bacon caused death.
As former Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders once said, “Everybody’s gonna die from something.”............and she really liked Eric Clapner’s music................
In the daytime, I’m Mr. Natural,
Healthy as I can be.
But at night I’m a junk food junkie,
Good Lord, have pity on me.
And we need safer bullets.
A salad contributes more to global warming than bacon.
Save the planet!
Eat more bacon!
As always, the problem is obvious, yet inescapable:
“Good for you” food tastes like something you would feed to livestock, with some exceptions like a nice piece of fruit.
You waited that long? I gave in at 58.
