Scientists find plant-based meat is good for the heart 14:18

Replacing regular meat with plant-based meat helps lower blood cholesterol levels. This has been shown in a published study. Canadian Journal of Cardiology (CJC).

Plant-based meat uses many industrial processing steps to produce it, making it an ultra-processed product. Their consumption is associated with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But a new study shows that plant-based meat may provide benefits.

Scientists analyzed studies published from 1970 to 2023. It turns out that different types of plant-based meat vary greatly in nutritional content. In general, plant-based alternatives were heart-healthier than conventional meats.

Plant-based meats have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. Some plant-based meats have been shown not to raise blood pressure despite their high salt content.

The authors concluded that consuming plant-based meat may be beneficial to the heart. However, there are few existing studies examining long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, longer-term studies are needed.
