A recent study published in the Lancet highlights a worrying health risk: ultra-processed plant foods, such as vegan kebabs, could have harmful effects on the heart. If veganism is often praised for its health benefits, this research reminds us of the importance of not relying entirely on “plant-based” labels without considering the quality of the ingredients used.
Ultra-processed foods are often high in additives, preservatives and added sugars, which can lead to cardiovascular health problems. This Lancet study highlights that even plant-based options, if highly processed, can increase the risk of heart disease.
For those who wish to adopt a vegan diet while protecting their health, it is essential to favor minimally processed foods, rich inn natural nutrients, and to turn to homemade preparations. By choosing fresh ingredients and avoiding ultra-processed products, you can enjoy the benefits of veganism without compromising your cardiovascular health.
Be vigilant in your food choices: not everything vegan is necessarily synonymous with health.
