I feel like when people hear 'ultra-processed plant origin foods' people are thinking stuff like Beyond/Impossible meat, but really this study is saying people who eat lots of bread and confectionaries (by far the highest source of UPF in this study) have higher cardiovascular risk.
The participants of the study were recruited between 2009 - 2012, before most fake meat was a thing. Presumably it will get its own category in some future studies.
The other interesting thing is that soft drinks & confectionary were in the same category as packaged breads/buns. Are they so similar in terms of nutrition?

I also immediately thought Potato Chips!
Or Crisps as we British call them :-)
