Heart disease.
Processed, high-sodium foods raise blood pressure and many processed/high‑cholesterol foods raise LDL cholesterol — both major risk factors for atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Malaria and histoplasmosis are infections with different exposures, and while diet can affect mood, the described diet most directly raises cardiovascular risk.
