It depends on which specific problems you're talking about.
Obviously plenty of dietary deficiency problems already have been solved in a big way. I can't even find numbers on how many US cases of scurvy there are in a year now, probably because it's 0 aside from the occasionsl attention whoring nurse or doctor who wants a new story about some kid they saw who looked sick and had an autistically limited diet. These stories never get confirmed and are basically always bullshit.
Iodine deficiency is another huge one. Because it's added to salt a collection of medical problems that were recorded since the beginning of ancient history were successfully prevented, and US IQ even went up from the drop in iodine deficiency associated mental retardation.
Beriberi's another one I can't get modern US numbers on. Wiped out thanks to the enrichment of bread, flour, and farina with thiamine.
Rickets? Vitamin D fortified milk.
I could keep going but the point is you're greatly shortchanging how much bad shit the typical developed nation person is shielded from even given their less than ideal dietary choices.
