Unhealthy diet causes one in seven deaths in Britain every year, a Lancet study suggests.
The research found lack of fruit and fibre is taking the heaviest toll, fuelling conditions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

The study by the University of Washington identified lack of wholegrain, nuts and fruits as the worst elements of the British diet.


Too much salt was the fourth biggest dietary risk factor, followed by too little vegetables.
