Why Grass-Fed Beef is Your Best Bet
  • By Laura Mirston

Did you know?
  • Grass-fed beef is vastly superior to grain-fed
    beef, and it is clearly the beef of choice you
    should be eating. It is far more important to
    choose grass-fed than to choose organic, as most
    grass-fed beef are also organic.

Not only is it raised in a more sustainable way
for the environment (and a more humane way for
the animal), but it is also the superior choice
for your health. Among the food sources of
vitamin B12 is meat, which includes beef,
chicken, and other staple meats. But what is all
this preference for grass-fed beef about?

  • Grass-fed beef, for instance, is lower in fat
    than regular beef. More importantly, it contains
    higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA),
    a fatty acid. Grass-fed animals have from three
    to five times more CLA than grain-fed animals.
  • CLA has been making headlines for its extreme
    health benefits, which include fighting cancer
    and diabetes, helping you manage your weight,
    increasing your metabolic rate (a positive
    benefit for promoting normal thyroid function),
    helping maintain cholesterol and triglyceride
    levels already within the normal range, and
    helping enhance your immune system.

  • If you have to choose between grass-fed meat and
    certified organic meat, you should stick to the
    former since most organic beef is given organic
    corn, which causes a range of health issues
    associated with eating beef.
  • If you can buy organic, grass-fed meat as your
    vitamin B12, protein, and nutritional source,
    that would be wonderful. It will help you ward
    off certain health issues, such as vitamin B12
    deficiency.

  • You are likely getting the absolute best meat
    there is USDA-certified or not if you get in
    touch with a local farmer who can verify that the
    products are raised on pasture and without
    antibiotics and pesticides.
  • Try finding a farmers market or
    community-supported agriculture program in your
    area to do this.
  • Remember that B12-rich grass-fed meat does not
    have to be certified grass-fed for it to
    provide the health benefits.
