Is Plant-Based Meat Healthy? | Christopher Gardner, PhD

The Proof with Simon Hill

In Episode #167, I sat down with Stanford Professor Christopher Gardner to chat about his recent SWAP-MEAT trial that compared plant-based meat to animal-based meat.

If you’re wondering how healthy plant-based burgers and sausages are relative to their organic animal-based counterparts (yes, he compared against organic animal products), then I am sure you will find this episode interesting and thought-provoking. We also touched on another recent study that compared the nutrient makeup of plant-based meat to animal-based meat.

For more from Christopher Gardner, check out Episode #145, #191, and #228.

For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.

Enjoy, friends.
