Bad diet to blame for one in six deaths in the UK
Poor diets kill almost 90,000 Britons a year.
Nearly one in six deaths is now linked to unhealthy eating, researchers said. The cost in lives is close to that from smoking.
Low intake of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and fibre are the biggest problems, according to findings published in the Lancet medical journal. Excess consumption of processed meat, salt and sugary drinks is almost as deadly.
