Is your diet making you sick? - If you’re not eating lots of fruits and vegetables (fresh, frozen, canned or dried), small amounts of lean protein, whole grains, breads and cereals, fish about twice a week and a daily good source of calcium, you could be heading toward type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease.
