We reviewed data on the American diet from 1800 to 2019. Methods We examined food availability and estimated consumption data from 1808-2019 using historical sources from the federal government and additional public data sources. Results Processed and ultra-processed foods increased from 60% of foods.

Saturated fats from animal sources were inversely correlated with the prevalence of NCDs. Conclusions As observed from the food availability data, processed and ultra-processed foods dramatically increased over the past two centuries, especially sugar, white flour, white rice,
