    In this ZOE episode, Stanford professor Christopher Gardner shares insights from his research comparing plant-based meats (like Beyond Meat) to high-quality red meat. His study reveals that plant-based alternatives led to lower levels of TMAO (a heart disease risk factor), reduced LDL cholesterol, and slight weight loss. While Gardner acknowledges the benefits of these meat alternatives, he emphasizes that whole foods, like legumes and beans, provide even greater health advantages. He advocates for a shift toward whole foods but sees plant-based meats as a helpful step for those transitioning from a red meat-heavy diet.
