Vegan Impossible burgers increase risk of diabetes and heart problems - new study finds you're better off with REAL meat​

They're said to be low in fat, good for cholesterol and an overall healthier choice than the real deal. But a new trial suggests that plant-based fake meat products are not in fact a nutritious choice - and could increase the risk of heart disease.

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.

This puts them at higher risk for developing heart disease and diabetes down the line, the authors wrote. Previous studies have found eating a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 25 percent.

However, the researchers of the new trial have highlighted that these studies involve people who eat whole foods - rather than ultra-processed products.

Vegan food-replacement products are all ultra-processed. As to "previous studies" showing vegan diets to reduce the incidence of diabetes, the range of outcomes of previous studies in this regard (vegan vs non-vegan diet) is so widecranging that you can find evidence to support whatever view you want.

I've eaten veggie sausage patties before, Morningstar brand I think...They tasted fine and had a fairly close resemblance to meat sausage patties...I would not eat them on a regular basis as there is no substitute for real meat and the veggie patties did also give a noticeable degree of gas...:Whistle:

I typically purchase the brand and type paper towel shown in the image below...Upon zooming in to the text at the bottom of the packaging it states there are 124 2-ply sheets per roll in that package...That is usually what I get at the local grocer when I purchase this size package of paper towels...Today I bought another 6/12 roll pack and this time the rolls were smaller...Now there are only 108 2-ply sheets per roll instead of 124 sheets and they are still using the same large plastic bag to contain the rolls, so the rolls are much looser in the sealed bag...Also the price went up, last time I paid $7.98 and this time the price is $9.89...

How a $26 burger becomes $41 at California restaurants​

At one San Francisco restaurant, service charges are so astronomical that a burger billed on the menu at $26 will end up costing $41.

But the Black Cat is far from unique in the city. And restaurants there seem to be coming up with every more creative fees to add on, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Charges include 'the cost of doing business' - which most diners would assume would be covered by the main price.

At the Black Cat, a jazz bar and lounge in the Tenderloin district, bosses there add a 20 percent service charge 'to ensure a living wage' and a 10 percent 'SF safety and benefit charge' to its bills - on top of the 8.63 percent sales tax.

It is made clear the service charge is not a tip. Adding the customary 20 percent tip, which bring the restaurant's $26 burger, served without extras such as fries, to $41.24.
