       | Conclusions
       | 
       | A sustained dietary change may give substantial health gains for
       | people of all ages both for optimized and feasible changes. Gains
       | are predicted to be larger the earlier the dietary changes are
       | initiated in life. The Food4HealthyLife calculator that we
       | provide online could be useful for clinicians, policy makers, and
       | laypeople to understand the health impact of dietary choices.

       | Not having an alcohol consumption category seems a bit odd for
       | this sort of thing.

         | point, exercise freaks generally eat very well.
