A new study suggests that poor diet causes more deaths in the world than consumption of tobacco. A diet that lacks the necessary nutrients and vitamins and includes regular consumption of unhealthy junk foods leads to various diseases including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

According to a report by ANI, every fifth death in the world is caused by a poor diet. Lack of whole grains, fruits and vegetables coupled with copious amounts of unhealthy food has led to over 10 million deaths in the world.
