Study Reveals Health Risks of Ultra-Processed Plant-Based Foods

New research links ultra-processed plant foods to increased cardiovascular disease and early death, challenging assumptions about plant-based diets.

Ultra-processed plant foods increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Minimally processed plant foods offer protective benefits against cardiovascular diseases.
Every 10% increase in calories from ultra-processed plant foods raises heart disease risk by 5%.
Replacing ultra-processed foods with minimally processed ones reduces cardiovascular risks.
Ultra-processing strips plant foods of nutrients and introduces harmful compounds.
