I see that the article mentions the Impossible Burger though the study does not. This does still apply to the Impossible Burger though right?
In the study, they used traditional vegan burgers made of tofu (soy). While Impossible Burgers also have soy technically it's not something derived from a whole bean - and there's also potato protein, coconut oil, and wheat in there. Everything is still plant based though...
If you’re substituting carbs in place of proteins and fats, then I’m not surprised by this result, but if you are trying to avoid unnecessary carbs, then vegan burgers usually don’t replace beef very well. Which is also a shame because I actually like a number of the plant based patties I’ve had, but they don’t fit within my requirements.
