Plant-Based Ultra-Processed Foods: Heart Disease Risk

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:

“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE

* Plant-based ultra-processed foods, including veggie burgers and meatless nuggets, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease

* Eating plant-based ultra-processed foods was linked with a 5% increased risk of cardiovascular disease and a 12% higher risk of cardiovascular disease mortality

* Vegans and vegetarians often consume more ultra-processed foods than meat eaters, especially “industrial plant-sourced meat and dairy substitutes”

* The health risks of these unnatural foods come not only from the highly processed ingredients they contain but also from the additives and contaminants formed during processing

* Plant-based ultra-processed foods are typically loaded with seed oils high in the toxic omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid”
