Ultra processed foods unhealthy even if plant-based

Plant-based ultraprocessed foods linked to heart disease, early death, study says | CNN

Eating plant-based ultraprocessed foods raise the risk of heart disease and early death, but there’s an easy fix, a new study found.

plant based alternatives are pretty good for reducing calories or inflammation in my experience.

Ultra processed foods are unsurprisingly (but disappointingly) still bad.

  Basically stuff that gets processed beyond adding simple ingredients like sugar, oil and salt.
