Bad diet is on the rise.
- Findecanor 4mo agoSome people have turned vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free for health reasons, but substituted foods for other foods with additives that may come with their own health risks. Methyl cellulose is in gluten-free bread and in most fake meat products. Some emulsifiers are found in mayo, other sauces and "ice cream". Not just vegan brands, but overall.

It's also well known [1] that a plant-based diet is effective with colorectal cancer (+9%): > The random-effects model demonstrated a significant inverse association between plant-based dietary patterns and CRC risk (hazard ratio [HR], 0.91 [95% CI, 0.85–0.97]) But as you guessed it varies between healthy and un-heatly diets: > This protective association was strengthened when the definition of plant based patterns specifically emphasized the inclusion of healthy plant foods However those un-healty foods are not restricted to plant-based meal (evidence: any supermarket shelf or snack restaurant), and lentils, tofu or seeds are as much -or more- likely to be found in a long term vegan dish than an impossible burger. As you noted it's "Not just vegan brands, but overall". For the mayo I recommend tahini instead (way more tasty) or just olive oil but if you really need it: - ~2/3 sunflower oil - ~1/3 soy milk (with no additive ;-) ) - a bit of citrus juice - a pinch of salt -> Blend high speed to emulsify -> For a thicker texture you may use some silken tofu 0 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1264382/top-motivations-for-veganuary/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1264382/top-motivations-... 1 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1091255X25002914 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1091255X2...
