新闻报报看 | 为了减少肉类的摄取，于是不少人就开始把目光，转移到和肉口感很相似的素肉。根据美国临床营养学杂志的研究显示，这些假扮真肉的素肉，含有大量的添加剂和调味料，与吃动物肉的人相比，吃素肉的钠摄取量反而会更高！（主播：梁宝仪、庄文杰）

00:00 For many people who don't like meat,
00:03 it's boring if there's no meat when eating.
00:06 Because I don't like meat.
00:08 But with the popularization of healthy diet,
00:11 everyone knows that eating too much meat
00:13 and putting too much fat into it
00:15 may affect your health.
00:16 So in order to reduce meat intake,
00:19 many people have started to shift their attention
00:21 to vegetarian meat, which tastes very similar to meat.
00:25 But is vegetarian meat really healthier?
00:28 According to a study published in the American Clinical Nutritionist magazine,
00:32 vegetarian meat with fake meat
00:35 contains a lot of additives and seasonings.
00:38 Compared to people who eat animal meat,
00:40 vegetarian meat has a higher meat intake.
00:43 This study is for meat-eaters and vegetarians
00:45 with diabetes and diabetes-related diseases.
00:49 In the experiment,
00:50 vegetarians replaced meat with processed vegetarian meat.
00:54 While married people ate six types of meat,
00:57 including beef, pork, chicken breast, hamburger,
01:00 sausage, chicken nuggets, and so on.
01:04 But after eight weeks of experiments,
01:06 the meat-eaters' meat intake decreased.
01:11 On the contrary,
01:12 the meat-eaters' meat intake increased by 42%.
01:17 In addition, the blood pressure of meat-eaters
01:20 also improved moderately.
01:22 On the contrary, the plant-based meat users did not improve.
01:24 So this shows that eating vegetarian meat
01:27 does not help improve blood pressure.
01:30 It sounds like eating meat is healthier than eating vegetarian meat.
01:35 Although eating vegetarian meat is good for health,
01:38 Professor Haldar from the University of Britain,
01:41 Professor of Nutrition Science,
01:43 explained that eating vegetarian meat cannot replace
01:45 eating pure vegetarian food.
01:48 He said that pure vegetarian food usually includes
01:51 natural foods such as whole grains, beans, and a large amount of fruit and vegetables.
01:55 But vegetarian meat is just processed artificial meat
01:59 that tastes similar to real meat.
02:01 It is not real meat.
02:03 The addition of processed food
02:04 is more risky for health.
02:07 Therefore, eating vegetarian meat cannot provide
02:09 the same health advantages as eating pure vegetarian food.
02:13 Although eating vegetarian food is good for health,
02:15 vegetarian meat is also a type of vegetarian food.
02:17 But this does not mean that
02:18 eating vegetarian meat is healthier.
02:22 Vegetarian meat is usually made from fermented beans
02:24 or wheat gluten.
02:26 Many people
02:27 want to make vegetarian meat taste better
02:30 and more like real meat.
02:32 Usually, a lot of processing is done,
02:34 such as adding a lot of salt,
02:36 saturated fat, and stimulants.
02:39 This will lead to higher fat content in vegetarian meat.
02:42 So eating vegetarian meat cannot replace real meat.
02:47 Professor of Nutrition Science also hopes that food companies
02:49 should re-evaluate the development of meat substitutes for the next generation.
02:53 So that vegetarian meat not only tastes good,
02:55 but also has better nutrients.
02:57 It is more suitable for everyone to eat.
