  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening today on Revealing Wholeness sponsored by

  Speaker 1: dot com, where we are revealing the eternal in each individual,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the infinite in the individual, the creativity is made manifest,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: limitation is let go. Now here's your host, doctor Troy Munson.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. You know one thing
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: that I get asked all the time, Come on, how
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: much better is grass fed? And so when I found
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this little tidbit, I just couldn't couldn't wait to just
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: tell everyone. So this comes from the Journal of Animal
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Science in two thousand and nine. What they did is
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: they wrote an article by Decat sk Neil gp fnentat
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm saying that pronoun or that correctly gp
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and Company Effects of winter stocker growth rate and finished
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: system on tissue proximate fatty acid, vitamin and cholesterol content.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So they were going after how much more does grass
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: fed animals in the summer have in terms of nutrient
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: density as to those when they're grown in the winter
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and they're kept in their little stalls. So here we go,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and it's quite an interesting little list. Grain fed beef
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: versus grass fed. Grass fed has lower total fat higher
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in beta carotene. Now, if you've listened to some of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: my vitamin K two talks, you'll hear that when beta
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: carotene is absorbed is when animals feed on grass that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: is high in K two, where the K one is
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: K one sits right on the chlorophyll part of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: molecule where energy is converted to sugars for the animal.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So chlorophyll is huge, huge component of vitamin K one
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and when it basically gets eaten by the animal, beta
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: carotene rides along. So we find that their fat is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: much more yellow in content, and that's usually due to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the beta carotene content in their fat. It could be
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit the vitamin K two, it's possible, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think so as much because it's such in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a minute dose. It's more the beta carotene. Grass fed
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: beef is also higher in vitamin E. So they just
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: simply looked at gammatochophorol. But that is a natural form
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of one of the preservative oils of the vitamin E complex.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So when you eat grass, you're going to absorb selenium
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: as an animal, not U or I and process it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and that's where the vitamin E is. So vitamin E
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: is over one thousand things that make it work correctly,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and its preservative is the mixed to koferols. And they
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: were measuring gamma. Next, grass beed beef is higher in
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: B vitamins, thiamon and rebel flavonoid. Well, of course they're
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: eating grass and they're getting all the nutrients and minerals
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in order to make all kinds of cool things in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: their beef. Next, and of course if they're eating the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: grass and eating all those minerals, wouldn't it make sense
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that it's going to be higher in minerals Calcium, magnesium, potassium,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the big three, and then the big four to complete
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it would be sodium. But then the trace minerals are
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: also increased as well. Now, grass bed beef also is
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: higher in omega three, the essential fatty acids. Those omega threes,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they help us in many many different ways, whether it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: with our skin not wrinkling, whether it's producing our immune
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: system components. Oils run so much in the body they
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: are converted to make hormones because we have oil based
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: hormones and so essential fatty acids are absolutely vital for us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And when you have a grain fed animal, you now
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: have an animal that is mostly omega six. We don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: need that much omega six, very little. In fact, we
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: really need the omega three and there's a ratio. It
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: also obviously has a healthier ratio in grass fed beef
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: than in grain fed next higher in conjugated lenoleic acid
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: or CLA. It's a healthy fat that is a potential
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: potent cancer fighter. So here we talk about beef causing cancer. Well, yes,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: grain fed beef, I would argue probably does, but a
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: true grass fed animal not necessarily so. So we'll also
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: find that because of this wonderful grass feeding that they'll
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: have a higher incident of vaccinic acid, that is an
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: oil that is actually transformed into CLA. Again a healthier,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: healthier fat. And of course if we have way more
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of good omega three fats, it's going to be lower
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in saturated fats. Though there are articles showing that saturated
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: fats do not produce heart disease like has been so
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: much lead in the media, saturated fats are actually healthy
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: for us, but it is vitally important that we have
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: other fats with them. To help. Anything singly in high
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: doses is never probably a wise move. I digress. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: was thinking, for just a moment, what if I had
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: lots of money? Would that be bad? So I suppose
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: anything in lots is probably not very good for us,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and I think we could argue just about everything. So
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: those are the skinny on grass fed beef as opposed
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to green fed. So when you're thinking, gosh, do I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: really want to spend the extra dough on grass fed, well, yes,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: if you know where your grass fed beef is coming from.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I hear that they've now passed a law that says
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: if they feed a cow a pellet of grass, you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: may call it. You guessed it grass fed beef. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so I hope that those that are selling grass fed
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that say one hundred percent grass fed actually mean it,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: instead of those that are just saying grass fed butter,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: grass fed geese, grass fed beef and they're only feeding
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the animal one pellet of grass at each feeding. I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: sorry to say, it is out there and it is pathetic.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So I would hope that you would know your growers.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I know my milk producers. I do not necessarily know
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: my butter producers, but I want to until next time.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I hope this warms your cackles for grass fed beef.
• 6:58
