These illnesses are increasingly recognised now as being sometimes caused by lifestyle issues, including poor nutrition and low levels of exercise. Despite this knowledge, the peak of the epidemic is still with us, and obesity-related diseases are prevalent in the developed world.

There are many more nutrients than we know about in food, and the overall process of ingestion and utilisation of nutrients is still poorly understood. Good nutrition is also part of, and depends on, such matters as healthy lifestyle, food policy, and public health. Such figures as longevity do not necessarily correlate to the developed status of a country. (For instance, Costa Rica and Guadaloupe have higher life expectancy than the United States, U.N figures 2002).

The connection between nutrition and health has weakened however. Good health became the norm in the developed world through increased understanding of communicable diseases, micro-organisms and how to fight them with antibiotics, and other health developments. A hidden epidemic gradually emerged in the post World War II years, where non-communicable endemic illnesses began to flourish, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.
