Impact of food choices on life expectancy: A modelling study

🤔 Always take modelling studies with a grain of salt.

✅❌ Nevertheless, this is an interesting data set showing a large impact of switching your Western diet to a more optimal version with lots of vegetables and less processed meat. Making such a switch could add a substantial amount of years to your life. Even when people would start at the age of 60.

👀 Note the relative low impact of eating more fruits or eating less white meat [silde 1 and 2].
