Changing how the world eats could reduce premature deaths, save trillions of dollars and slow the impacts of climate change, according to a new landmark report released Thursday by the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission, a coalition of experts in nutrition, climate, economics, health and agriculture from more than 35 countries.In what they describe as “the most comprehensive global scientific evaluation of food systems to date,” the researchers said that if people worldwide adopted their “Planetary Health Diet” (PHD), up to 15 million premature deaths could be avoided annually. The commission also found that transforming how people eat could reduce greenhouse gas…
