That is interesting but it is not overly usefull out of context like that. I would be interested in
comparing this data with obesity trends as well as what percent of the carbs are sugars and high
fructose corn syrup and other refined carbs.

This is what I can give

From 1955-1984

Number of heart related deaths per 100,000

60.9
61.2 77
62.7
63.2
64.2
65.5
66.7
67.3
68.9

Accodring to my data. Heart related death was outside of the "top 4 killer disease in Japan".

Obesity doesnt seem to have gone up, it actually looks like it went down. I will post this later

I will post a bit later. Data seems very interesing.

Table sugar (the white stuff) consumption. 1965-1984. Per person in units of 100g. e.g.
50=50*100=5000g of sugar in a year per person

41.47887324
42.91566265
43.23308271
44.04545455
45.27877238
46.79434447

52.7414248
53.16931217

Would be even more interesting if it were up-to-date. There have been dramatic changes in the
past 20 years.
