SAMA HOOLE: ruminant meat (beef, lamb) is superior to monogastric meat (chicken, pork).

Here's the simple reason why ruminant meat (beef, lamb) is superior to monogastric meat (chicken, pork).

Monogastrics store what they’re fed.

Grains in → linoleic acid in their fat.

That’s why pork fat = 20% PUFA, chicken fat = 25% PUFA.

Here's the simple reason why ruminant meat (beef, lamb) is superior to monogastric meat (chicken, pork). Monogastrics store what they’re fed. Grains in → linoleic acid in their fat. That’s why pork fat = 20% PUFA, chicken fat = 25% PUFA. Ruminants are different. Their multi-chambered stomachs biohydrogenate polyunsaturated fats, converting unstable seed oils into stable saturated & monounsaturated fats. Grains in → beef fat still ~2–4% PUFA. Translation: + = vehicles for industrial seed oils. 

+ = built-in detox machines that protect you from seed oils.
