Ultra-processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, pollution kill 2.7M Europeans annually

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that ultra-processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, and fossil fuels kill 2.7 million people in Europe each year. Experts claim that 'powerful industries' are causing illness and early death by interfering with government policies and efforts to reduce cases of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Critics, however, dismissed the assertions as 'half-baked Marxism' and accused the WHO of advocating for a 'nanny state'.
