Today's video:
Recently a study came out that triggered a whole range of media articles declaring that #veganism is unhealthy and that plant-based alternatives cause heart failure. However, there was a problem. This reporting completely misrepresented the study and came to conclusions that were not shown by the study whatsoever.
In particular, one article published by #TheTelegraph caught my attention. #UltraProcessedFoods
