What is special about grass-fed beef?
Grass-fed beef contributes toward overall ecological health: a healthy environment, healthy animals and healthy people. Healthy people: Research shows that grass-fed beef is lower in fat and calories than grain-fed. Grass-fed beef also contains higher levels of the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids (CLS), known as the good fats, and it has a healthier ratio of good to bad cholesterol, according to numerous studies.[1] While little or no research has been done on humans that can definitely link the consumption of grass-fed meat and dairy products to better human health, scientists continue to examine these connections, as current scientific understanding suggests there could be one. Grass-fed steak can also have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce heart-disease risk, as noted in a recent article in Consumer Reports magazine.
