According to research, there was an increase in cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1987, which was linked to a dietary increase of both sugar and red meat. There is no evidence to suggest that disease decreased or that HIV became a dominant cause of mortality during this period.
