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.

    This is not very pragmatic. People who buy processed junk food already do not care about the health factor, what they care about is taste and cost.

    As others point out, vegan junk food comes with much less cost to the environment and animal welfare. That is pretty big.

    Best should not be the enemy of better.

      Ahhh okay, you’re talking about junk food eaters. Totally agree on that point then. I was speaking from the perspective having a non-junk food or less junk food diet.
