old news, but here it is again

Natural meat is better fr you than vegan "meat," study says.

Headline:

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that people who ate a diet high in fake meats like Beyond burgers and Impossible burgers for eight weeks had higher blood sugars than those who ate real meat.

This puts them at higher risk for developing heart disease and diabetes down the line, the authors wrote. 

Previous studies have found eating a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 25 percent.

However, the researchers of the new trial have highlighted that these studies involve people who eat whole foods - rather than ultra-processed products.

The past few years has seen the rise of fake meats- including popular substitutes like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.

I'd still like to try an Impossible Burger at some point. I'm curious.
