In the supplementary information of the study, there is a Table that breaks down the 22 food groups [1]. You can look at it yourself, but below are the consumptions for the "unhealthy" categories. Seems like Vegans eat more salty snacks and less sweet/fatty food.
| | Meat-Eaters | Vegetarians | Vegans |
|----------------------------------|---------------|---------------|--------------|
| Salty snacks and crackers (g/d) | 3.69 ± 0.06 | 5.28 ± 0.34 | 10.50 ± 0.48 |
| Sweet and fatty foods 6 (g/d) | 125.00 ± 0.52 | 122.00 ± 2.86 | 73.90 ± 4.00 |
| Sugary drinks (mL/d) | 23.40 ± 0.48 | 27.10 ± 2.65 | 22.40 ± 3.71 |
| Sugar-free drinks (x103 mL/d) | 1.08 ± 4.16 | 1.14 ± 22.70 | 1.05 ± 31.70 |

- GrantMoyer 2y agoSure, and the study even finds vegetarian and vegan diets have a higher proportion of "healthy" foods overall. But as far as I've found, neither that study nor the other linked articles investigate which of these specific groups of foods are linked to increased risk of disease and death (regardless of how obvious it may seem for some of the groups), only ultra-processed foods in general, which is a very broad category.
