The foods we choose have a huge impact on our long term health and well-being. We've learned that in the last few decades.
We've seen that, say rates of heart disease in northern Europe are ten times higher then in Southern Europe and that rates of cancer vary tenfold or more around the world. The foods we choose-along with physical activity and not smoking--are a major factor in those huge differences in rates of almost every disease that we look at, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and many cancers.
