The Daily Mail reports the findings of a study of the health implications of eating faux-meat instead of actual meat. Turns out real meat is healthier.
The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that people who ate a diet high in fake meats like Beyond burgers and Impossible burgers for eight weeks had higher blood sugars than those who ate real meat.
We humans need to accept we are omnivore primates, like our closest relatives the chimps and bonobos. We evolved eating meat and, while we can live without it, shouldn’t presume doing so would be healthier.
If anything, we should assume the opposite as a working hypothesis. It’s one so far we’ve been unable to disprove.
