Deep dives
The Rise of Heart Disease
Before 1912, heart attacks were nearly nonexistent in America, but by 1932, they had become the leading cause of death. This dramatic shift raises questions about dietary changes, particularly since meat consumption was higher in the 1800s than in the following decades. The episode suggests that while meat cannot be blamed for the rise in heart disease, there is a strong correlation with processed foods, seed oils, and sugars. This connection implies that modern dietary habits have played a significant role in the emergence of chronic health issues.
