On June 18th, Guoqianghui reported that the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil and Imperial College London recently released a research result that evaluated the dietary habits of 118,000 40-60 year old Britons and found that plant-based diets can indeed improve health. For every 10% increase in the vegetable content in the diet, the probability of developing heart disease can be reduced by 20%, but this result only applies to fresh fruits and vegetables. If it comes from "ultra-processed foods" like Beyond Meat, it will actually increase the risk of heart-related deaths by 12%. The main researcher, Fernanda Rauber, explained why ultra-processed foods can lead to increased blood pressure and cholesterol, pointing out that the additives and industrial pollutants in these foods may exacerbate oxidation and inflammation in the body. When choosing plant-based foods, we should also consider the degree of processing. Another co-researcher, Dr. Eszter Vamos, pointed out that misleading marketing makes the public think that plant-based foods are always healthy. Duane Mellor, a nutritionist at the British Dietetic Association, was even more blunt, saying that foods without animal components, such as cookies, potato chips, confectioners, and soda, are technically plant-based, but most people never consider them part of a healthy diet.
