I joined Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to discuss my recent paper about the cardiovascular effects of consuming plant-based meat alternatives, which was published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
In this episode, we cover:
- The nutritional profiles of plant-based and animal-based meats.
- How replacing meat with plant-based alternatives can impact markers of heart health.
- How the various fat and protein sources that are commonly used in plant-based meat alternatives may stack up in terms of heart health.
- And more!
