Plant-based ultraprocessed foods linked to heart disease, early death, study says | CNN

Eating plant-based ultraprocessed foods raise the risk of heart disease and early death, but there’s an easy fix, a new study found.

plant based alternatives are pretty good for reducing calories or inflammation in my experience.

Ultra processed foods are unsurprisingly (but disappointingly) still bad.

    My question was if these extra steps of ultraprocessing are taken into account here. If the corporation manufacturing meat substitutes source all their ingredients from the cheapest places and have them processed all over the globe just to eventually be shipped to the supermarket, that’s a whole lot of extra emissions.

      Those are one-time emissions though, vs meat industry where the animal emissions are continuous, both from the animal itself and from sourcing the cheapest feed from all over the globe.
