Harmful Effects of a Non Sattvik Diet

While we benefit by having a sattvik diet, we have to face harmful effects if we have a non-sattvik diet. The older generation was physically healthy even at the age of 80-90 years. Their eyes, teeth and other organs used to function well till the very end of their lives. The older generation did not have to battle disorders such as indigestion, acidity, constipation etc. However, today in the name of 'Green Revolution', chemical fertilizers are used, chemical insecticides are sprayed on fruits, vegetables, fodder etc. As a result, many items such as grains, fruits, vegetables, milk etc. have become poisonous. Can such a diet ever be sattvik ? Can we remain healthy by having such a diet? This Holy text highlights the harmful effects of a poisonous diet and suggests remedies.
