Who doesn’t love a good burger? The newest burger craze to hit the world is the “Beyond Meat” burger or the “Impossible” burger which are both plant based burgers with claims to be a healthier option over their beef counterparts for both the environment and for human beings. But is there any evidence for these claims? In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth shows how the plant based “beyond meat” and “impossible” burgers are highly processed foods and highly processed foods have been proven to have links to the development of various diseases…when people eat more processed foods, they are likely to consume more calories and gain weight, a study by the National Institutes of Health found. With added weight gain can come such complications as kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease.
