Learn about grass-fed beef...
For some time now, red meat has been getting bad publicity for its negative
health aspects, specifically because of its high saturated fat content. For those of us who like our red meat, the very lean grass-fed beef is a healthy alternative to grain-fed beef.
How so? Grass fed beef is:
* Lower in saturated fats
* Higher in Omega 3 fatty acids
* Higher in CLAs (conjugated linoleic acids)
* Higher in beta carotene
* Higher in vitamins A and E
Also, grass-fed beef has a reduced risk for E. coli.
