“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.

Clapner.... Bwahahahaha
My grandfather started every morning with a large breakfast consisting of eggs, fried potatoes, and large portions of bacon. Then he would pour all the bacon grease from the skillet over his plate and use toast or biscuits to sop it up. He lived to 97...
Yep.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—World Health Organization officials expressed disappointment Monday at the group’s finding that, despite the enormous efforts of doctors, rescue workers and other medical professionals worldwide, the global death rate remains constant at 100 percent.
Death rates since 1992
Death, a metabolic affliction causing total shutdown of all life functions, has long been considered humanity’s number one health concern. Responsible for 100 percent of all recorded fatalities worldwide, the condition has no cure.
“I was really hoping, what with all those new radiology treatments, rescue helicopters, aerobics TV shows and what have you, that we might at least make a dent in it this year,” WHO Director General Dr. Gernst Bladt said. “Unfortunately, it would appear that the death rate remains constant and total, as it has inviolably since the dawn of time.”
Many are suggesting that the high mortality rate represents a massive failure on the part of the planet’s health care workers.
“The inability of doctors and scientists to adequately address this issue of death is nothing less than a scandal,” concerned parent Marcia Gretto said. “Do you have any idea what a full-blown case of death looks like? Well, I do, and believe me, it’s not pretty. In prolonged cases, total decomposition of the corpse is the result.”
“What about the children?” the visibly moved Gretto added.
“At this early date, I don’t want to start making broad generalizations,” Citizens for Safety’s Robert Hemmlin said, “but it is beginning to seem possible that birth—as well as the subsequent life cycle that follows it—may be a serious safety risk for all those involved.”
Death, experts say, affects not only the dead, but the non-dead as well.
Death has long been considered humanity’s number one health concern. Responsible for 100 percent of all recorded fatalities worldwide, the condition has no cure.
“Those who suffer from death can be highly traumatized by it, often so severely that it kills them,” noted therapist Eli Wasserbaum said. “But it can also be very traumatic for the still-living who are left behind. The sudden cessation of metabolic activity characteristic of terminal cases of death often leaves the dead person in a position where they are unable to adequately provide for the emotional needs of their loved ones.”
In the most serious cases of death, Wasserbaum explained, the trauma inflicted upon these still-living victims of death may continue throughout their entire lives, until their own deaths. “Thus,” Wasserbaum said, “the ‘vicious cycle’ of death trauma continues indefinitely.”
“Everybody talks about death,” Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) said, “but nobody seems to actually be doing anything about it. I propose we stop molly-coddling death, not to mention the multi-billion-dollar hospital, mortuary, funeral and burial industries that reap huge profits from it.”
Under Domenici’s new bill, all federal funds will be withheld from the medical industry until it “gets serious and starts cracking down on death.”
Consumer rights advocate and staunch anti-death activist Ralph Nader agreed with Domenici.
“Why should we continue to spend billions of dollars a year on a health care industry whose sole purpose is to prevent death, only to find, once again, that death awaits us all?” Nader said in an impassioned address to several suburban Californians. “That’s called a zero percent return on our investment, and that’s not fair. Its time the paying customer stood up to the HMOs and to the so-called ‘medical health professionals’ and said: ‘Enough is enough. I’m paying through the nose here, and I don’t want to die.’”
Good ol’ Dr. Joyce. Don’t you miss her? Clinton’s appointments were so much smarter than the hacks that Trump is putting into place. Parse this quote from the good doctor: “We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children.”[8]
Funny. I see Bacon as the miracle food. However, I’m eating plain almonds and pecans as I read this.
I could use a nice bacon wrapped shrimp burrito right about now.
No one dies from too much bacon.
They mearly obtain access to a higher plane of existence.
“Then he would pour all the bacon grease from the skillet over his plate and use toast or biscuits to sop it up. He lived to 97...”
I leave the grease from the bacon in my skillet, then pour in my raw eggs for the scrambled egg fry. Already have an ounce or two of milk with the eggs. Makes the best scrambled eggs to go with my bacon.
Ummmm, bacon.
That is a T shirt worthy mantra right there.('cept mearly is spelled merely.)
Your grandfather must have been a farmer who worked off those breakfasts by plowing fields. Would be my favorite too, except heart trouble forces me to go hungry a lot.
Lived to 97. What a man.
Death where is thy sting?
From the same US Government scientists that devised the now discredited food pyramid that resulted in our current obesity epidemic? People still listen to them? Huh.
Cause of death?
Genetics- my family has routinely lived into their 90’s having grown up on bacon, eggs, real butter, heavy cream lard- sweets- ice cream- on and on it goes-
Correlation does not necessarily confer causation- people who don’t eat salt also get hardening of arteries, and also die from strokes and heart disease- There are many factors involved in determine ‘cause’ of death- Did most of the bacon eaters have desk jobs? Not exercise much? Smoke? Drink too much? Do drugs?
Back awhile ago there were ‘alarming warnings’ about butter- about eggs- etc etc etc- meanwhile the average age of people has risen from just 39 years old to now over 80- if anything- bacon is making people live longer lol
AutoCorrect hates me.
I save my bacon drippings in a jar...good base for frying.
I remember someone saying that 13% of all traffic deaths are caused by drinking and driving. Then they said that 87% of all traffic deaths are caused by people NOT drinking and driving.
Sounded like I have a better chance if I drink and drive.
Did some research...yup...they figured one would live longer by... 8 DAYS.
