I joined Clint Stamatovich on the Plant-Based Canada podcast to discuss the findings from our new review paper on plant-based meat alternatives. The paper was titled ‘Animal vs. Plant-Based Meat: A Hearty Debate’ and was published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why we decided to conduct this scientific review.
- What parameters we used to conduct the search (eg. what time period, what type of studies, etc.)
- What we found regarding nutritional composition of plant-based meats.
- What we found regarding the impact of plant-based meats on cardiovascular health.
- What surprised us.
- What I would like to see in future research.
- And much more!
