Just How Healthy Is GrassFed Beef? Depends on the Grass!

You’ve probably heard that grass-fed beef is better for you than corn-finished beef.  But….it turns out that the benefits that come from grass-finished beef depend a lot on what’s in “the grass” they were finished on…..

If the cows that became beef were eating a wide variety of different plant species….they were not just a lot healthier than corn-finished beef – they are significantly healthier than beef raised on only one type of grass!

These and many other fascinating facts are being learned from the work of Dr. Stephan van Vliet - a researcher at Utah State University leading the biggest nutrient density survey of beef to date.

In this episode, we will learn all about this work and the implications it has for consumers and the planet during our feature interview with Dr. van Vliet.
