Yes I need to look to different cultures for sure.
It’s more the chemicals and man made ingredients that are foundations for what we are calling “foods”. Most humans trust and ingest basically anything that is sold in stores depending on the FDA to protect us.

That may be an extreme perspective - the FDA is trying to regulate for safety - it's what governments are supposed to do. Not perfect, but helpful.
It is up to us, individually, to make the best choices. We have known for decades that processed foods, large amounts of sugar and salt, etc, are negatives for our health. Yet, we have extraordinary rates of obesity and diabetes, which does seem to cause/exacerbate other medical issues.
This, and other summaries list smoking, obesity, and diabetes - these last two related - as significant factors. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/pancreatic-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/risk-factors.html
