Headline – Vegan fake meats linked to heart disease, early death: study

Are plant-based (fake meat) burgers really bad for your health? What’s behind the scary headlines?

New research out a couple of weeks ago including the health effects of ultra- processed plant-based foods is attracting global attention.

Guest: Dr Evangeline Mantzioris – Program Director of Nutrition and Food Sciences at The University of South Australia

Presenter: Warren Andrew
