Scientists found that opting for ultra-processed plant-based products instead of animal-based foods is linked with a 15% higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, with fat, salt, and sugar content being major concerns.
Research using data from over 118,000 participants showed that a high consumption of ultra-processed plant-based foods increased the risk of heart disease and death by 15%. In contrast, a higher intake of non-processed vegetarian foods lowered heart disease risks by 8%.
