Plant-based ultra-processed foods linked with higher risk of cardiovascular disease

New research suggests that plant-based ultra-processed foods may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 7% compared to unprocessed plant-based foods, despite being marketed as healthy alternatives. The study, involving over 118,000 people, highlights the importance of reducing ultra-processed food consumption and promoting minimally processed plant-based diets for better health outcomes.
