No Major Heart Health Benefits from Plant Based Meats, New Study Finds

In a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers conducted an eight-week-long randomised controlled trial to evaluate the impacts of consuming a plant-based meat analogue diet versus one composed of an omnivorous animal-based one.
In recent years, a resurgence in global Plant Based Diets popularity has been witnessed, with environmental, health, and animal welfare concerns primarily driving this observation.
Previous research has established vegetarian and vegan diets as healthier than meat-based diets (MBDs), particularly in cardiometabolic outcomes. Furthermore, large and data-rich controlled trials have suggested that the gradual transition from ABD to PBDs can reduce the risk of chronic, non-transmittable diseases. These food products aim to mimic the organoleptic properties of meat-based food products while meeting the ethical and health benefits of vegetarian/vegan ones.
Unfortunately, given that PBMAs are still novel introductions, scientific evidence for their health benefits remains severely limited. While a few studies have suggested weight-loss benefits to PBMA consumption, their cardiometabolic risk outcomes are hitherto confounding.
