    Glossary Western diet

    high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats

    The Western diet, also known as the Standard American Diet (SAD), is characterized by high intakes of red and processed meats, sugary desserts, high-fat dairy products, and refined grains, while being low in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This dietary pattern is associated with various health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes, due to its high levels of saturated fats, sugars, and sodium.
