Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Plant-based Foods May Depress You Those following a vegetarian diet and regularly wolfing down plant-based foods such as burgers had a 42% higher risk of developing clinical depression. Uk University of Surrey researchers studied 5122 subjects all of whom were vegetarians and two-thirds of whom regularly ate plant-based meat alternatives or PBMA.

So it turns out that Impossible Burgers and Beyond Burgers may not be as healthy as claimed. The important watchword is moderation. https://iadns.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fft2.532 #plantbasedmeats #pbm #vegetarian #ultraprocessed"
