I've studied health pretty extensively and now belief 2 things about diet. 1 quality of the food is much more important than type, biggest example is animal fats. Because fat stores many toxins, the fat of animals raised on toxic CAFO diet adds alot of additional toxins to a person's diet, whereas animal raised on a natural diet for their species e.g. cows eating grass has fat that is a "superfood" in terms of nutritional value. And as MK says Beyond Burgers are not an ideal plant-based food. AT. ALL.

The other is that variety, particularly seasonal variety is healthy. This is why plant-based people often do better when switch to meat and hard-core meat eaters do better when go to healthy plant-based diet. Human evolved to eat a different type of diet at different times of year, times of less or no animal products, times of more, times of feast, and times of eating less. Switching things up now and then is good for us as long as stay with food as that's as natural as possible.
