"Study Challenges Health Benefits of Plant-Based Fast Food Options"

A recent study analyzing 1,868 meals from fast food chains across five countries found no significant health benefits in choosing plant-based options over traditional meat-based meals. The plant-based meals were not lower in calories and had less protein and sodium but more carbohydrates and sugar. The research suggests that consumers may be under the illusion that plant-based fast food options are a healthier choice, highlighting the importance of informed decisions when it comes to diet, especially for individuals with metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes.
