You’ll probably recall how Beyond Burger and Impossible Meat entered the scene a few years ago to great fanfare… Folks were thrilled to have a tasty alternative to animal meat that was healthier, more environmental, and cruelty-free.
Shortly after, however, the animal agriculture industry started a massive campaign to discredit these competing plant-based products by positioning them as “ultra-processed”, “unnatural”, and “unhealthy”.
On this AJA Lunchtime Live, we have Dr. Matthew Nagra, ND joining us to set the record straight!
He was the lead researcher of a meta-analysis published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology that looked at studies from 1970 to 2023 comparing plant-based and animal-based meats.
He’ll give us the Coles Notes on this large-scale review that shows plant-based meat alternatives — even the so-called “ultra-processed” products — as the more heart-healthy option.
The findings report how plant-based meats better support reductions in weight and cholesterol and supply more dietary fibre. Also, how they’re not only better for the planet, they’re better for the body.
In this session, Matthew will give us tips on how to use this information to effectively to dispel the meat industry’s harmful myths about plant-based meats.
