Episode Description from the Publisher

Plant-based burgers have been criticised for years. But what does the scientific evidence actually say? In this episode, we examine the research comparing Beyond Meat and other plant-based burgers with conventional beef, including findings from the SWAP-MEAT trial and more recent meta-analyses. We discuss cholesterol, TMAO, body weight, sodium, ultra-processed foods, and why many experts believe the public conversation has become oversimplified. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
