Too much Trans Fatty Acids : http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/transfats/
Not enough magnesium, 68 to 80 percent of Americans are deficient, http://www.acatoday.org/content_css.cfm?CID=3956
Not enough calcium, sodas leeches it out, very little vitamin A, etc, etc
I don't believe in supplementation either,
If you get it all the in 1800 calories you are eating nutritious foods = healthy diet, and you are asking us to prove a healthy diet is healthy  |
what you mention re: salt is a myth.
please choose from any article in this google search to learn about that

next, sure trans fat is not good, but the article you cite does not refute what this thread is about. for the typical non-obese sedentary adult,too much trans fat intake is not a concern.
next, magnesium, sure low magnesium could be an issue but the fact is there are many many reasons a person might be low on magnesium, the least of which is diet. Again, the average healthy sedentary non-obese adult does not need to concern him or herself about magnesium.

no, if you eat typical cals in a day, not specifically nutritious, you will get the nutrients you need to have a sedentary day. That's not eating healthier. that's simply eating.
again, there is absolutely zero scientific proof that eating healthier means being healthier for the average adult.
want to get healthier? be more active mentally and physically and support that lifestyle with eating healthier.
