Grassfed beef has 500% more of the essential fatty acid Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) than grain finished beef. In animal studies, CLA has proven to be an anti-carcinogenic in that it not only reduces the likelihood of cancer, it actually suppresses the growth of cancer cells.
Grass Fed Beef is also celebrated for:
- Increases immunity to disease
- Prevents atherosclerosis (heart disease)
- Increases bone density
- Prevents obesity
- Functions as an anti-diabetic
In fact, by simply switching to grass-fed beef, if you eat the typical amount of beef (66 pounds a year), “it will save you 17,733 calories a year—without requiring any willpower or change in eating habits. If everything else in your diet remains constant, you’ll lose about six pounds a year. If all Americans switched to grassfed meat, our national epidemic of obesity would begin to diminish.”
