A whole lot is lost when the cow is fed grain during the last 6 months of its life. This is something the video does not discuss. Make sure it’s 100% grass fed...which is also grass finished.

You talk about the nutrients present en grass fed beef vs those in feedlot beef. But what about all the extra hormones, antibiotics and OGM food the feedlot animals are given?? When doing this sort of comparisons you should perhaps need to consider a broader perspective...

Grass fed is fresh pasture in the growing months or hay in the winter. Grass contains much more omega 3 fatty acids than hay. I took an equine nutrition course so know this to be true. When I'm buying my half or quarter beef from a local farmer I like to purchase in late October when they've been on pasture for six or more months. I'd like to see a comparison in the nutrient values of fresh grass vs grass hay fed.

What about antibiotics and a lot of other aspects? THE ONLY thing you compared is omega3. This video is highly manipulative and not informative.

hm, what about a comparison of the inflammatory affects?

The other thing that is important though is that grass feed is usually organic no GMO's no antibodies so you not looking at the whole pic ????

Grain feed beef and dairy or very high in omega 6 compared to omega 3 making it pro - inflammatory.......you're entitled to your opinion but that doesn't make it true.

As if omega 3 is the only nutrient of concern. What about vitamins? Anyone who promotes grain fed over grass fed promotes the profits of factory farming over health.

I think the reason grass fed is pushed is because it is more humane. People should not lie.

Also, I believe that only grass-fed beef (and dairy) contains K2, which most Americans are deficient in.

happy healthy cows laze and graze.

This video is outdated. You say it's ridiculous to eat 10 servings of grass fed beef a day. On the carnivore diet that's exactly what almost everyone does. Then the nutrition profile of grass vs grain fed becomes significant

What about vit K2 differences

This is Bob, Vronica's husband, which this channel will not recognize. Feedlot cattle are fed corn and soy products. Both of these are GM O's resistant to Roundup. This herbicide is now in the feed lot foodchainleading to us--grass fed beef is not. Check the following article articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/06/09/monsanto-roundup-herbicide.aspx

And what about all the chemicals, hormones, antibiotics etc ..... And this makes light of these!!!!

You need to be looking for grass-Finished beef

They need to make and find a way to make grass fed more affordable right now it's only for rich people which is a shame because it's saying poor people don't deserve to be healthy

Besides all of that, consumers remained exercised over the amounts of antibiotics fed to feed-lot animals, besides residual disease pathogens.

you SHOULD indicate the OMEGA 6 as well to show the rations for the type of foods you mentioned...

Numbers really put it in perspective lol thanks

Thanks, I knew already that beef isn't the food to turn to for omega threes, but yeah, thanks for the clarity.

0.41 grain fed cows do not live in feedlots their whole lives. Calves are usually born in spring. They spend the summer in the pasture with their mother (cow) eating grass. Male calves are castrated and become steers. Females are known as heifers. Once weaned in the fall, the steers and heifers are approaching adult size. They are sold/shipped at this point and go to a feedlot where they are fed a grain ration for about 4 months to reach “finished weight” before slaughter. What is wrong with this process? Nothing! The whole point is for the farmer to sell a calf once per year. For example, if you have 100 cows in your herd, you would ideally have 100 calves to sell every year (the larger, the better). They reach finished weight quicker when fed grain. Grass fed beef takes longer to reach finished weight so you are eating an older animal and there is less profit due to the time factor (also why you usually pay more for grass fed, which isn’t worth it in my opinion).

Interesting video there !!! Still we are way ahead of comparing the thousands of molecules beef contains . I can add a little side note to this video : there is importance to ratios of omega 3 -omega 6 when we eat , and how our bodies respond , and in this case the grass fed beef is clearly better as the 5 folds show .In another way I'm saying that maybe scale isn't everything , and ratio has a big role in assuring the body homeostasis in corresponding fonctions.

Im trying to figure this thing out, it is some what affordable but I will be sacrificing a bit and I WILL figure it out because I have too, it’s worth it.

It's the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 that's the problem. Beef's ratios are not a problem. Vegetable oils and seed oils in processed foods are the problem. Particularly soy. Very difficult to fix no matter how much salmon you are willing to eat.

In past animals were fed various grains rye barley and millet.

Even though the amount per MG of omega3, granted we eat a lot of eggs, avocados and supplement fish oil, it is enough for the standard that we should be consuming

What about toxins stored in the fat?

What I don’t understand is the comparison of the two kinds of beef to fish with naturally high omega-3 counts. This is totally irrelevant to the argument because we are talking about the nutrients given in the two so this is like comparing the vitamin d levels in the two meats and then bringing in orange juice to show that there is not nearly a difference where it should have nothing to do with orange juice in the first place. So should we always just by fish instead of the beef because it has higher omega 3 levels meanwhile not a single other nutrient is mentioned

The concern with feedlot beef is not composition of the meat, it’s the other non foodstuffs the animals are fed.

who said 10 servings of 100g beef is impossible?

Grain fed cows are pumped and fed carbs which is nothing but sugar. That's the big difference

Test that corn fed for glyphosate.

Is the higher omega 3 in grass fed what gives grass fed beef a "fishy" taste (IMO) compared to grass fed.

The higher CLA content is what I like about it. CongegaConjugated linoleic acid has believed to be anti-cancer.

I get breathing difficulty after eating grain fed, grass fed no problem even with more visible fat and gristle. Also, when I prepare the sirloin grain fed leaves my hands greasy, whereas grass fed my hands feel dry

I never understood why grass fed is more expensive. I thought grass was everywhere?

I hope someone from Authority Nutrition/Joe will reply to this question. It am baffled that you gloss over the amount of Omega-3 in [[salted?]] Mackerel. Because it is always said that eating oily fish is preferable to taking supplements, the sheer quantity of O-3 in salmon and mackerel argues for eating rather than supplementation. I happen to like fish, but I have been taking daily 1000mg supplements because I don't have the habit of buying exorbitantly expensive fish regularly. Mackerel is available canned, and is cheap. But I am asking if the qualification "salted" has any significance, because the canned mackerel that I see on grocery store shelves does not say "salted". Are there specific species or sub-species of mackerel that are associated with the 5100 mg figure? I would assume that "salted" has nothing to do with nutritional content, but in the video you say "salted". Never heard of it before.

We have 100% grass fed beef in WI. if your looking for any :)

You talked more about fish than the difference in the beef!

Are you 3/4 British and 1/4 Irish?

Omega 6 and omega 3 ratio is way more important than how much you get.. in my experience and opinion. Same as vitamin C without glucose. The recommendation is for normal unhealthy/obese people.

Why is it when I eat Grain fed my ankylosing Spondylitis flares up but when I eat Grass fed it does not?

You should have a chat with Eric Berg

mm yum love eating all that grain fed glyphosate

Not really surprised. You confirmed grass fed is healthier. You spend a few seconds covering 90% of the health benefits then the rest of the video on omega 3, then FISH.

if you only eat 4 ounces of meat its insignificant but if you eat 2lbs a day than its significant its also all 100% absorbable by the body. you mentioned plants as a good alternative for vitamins yet plant vitamin are far less absorbable by the body do to plant antinutrients, the only thing that makes plants vitamins more absorbable is animal fats.

grass fed is it just more humane

So you're focusing only on omega-3s and assuming that this is enough for establishing which one is "healthier"?

Your video implies there is little difference but you left out a large amount of other nutritional information that would be required to make and validate your statements. Were you not able to make the same conclusion with a proper nutritional analysis so you left it out??

Wth does fish have to do with grass fed vs grain fed beef?

All cattle should be fed grass, because it is their natural diet. Little bit of grains is okay.

Holy crap mackerel has that much omega 3 compared to beef

You forgot about Sardines

So grass fed is the way to go...thnx

Grass fed is far superior end of

Grassfed beef softer thab grainfeed beef. Also it gain less amount of fat

Grass fed beef is healthier period.

I can appreciate your video BUT the subject is grass to grain. Throwing fish and the like in for an explanation or comparison is very misleading. If I came across this (I did) I am looking for an objective view on the two and honestly not a spin-off to ‘its better to eat fish instead’. Just my two cents

interesting, but this makes no mention of the effects of antibiotics that are invariably in grainfed beef. Antibiotics have deleterious effects on our microbiome which cascades to numerous health consequences.

grass fed beef in the context of red meat is not about omega 3 its mostly about GMO/antibiotic free, high quality source of actual fat soluable vitamins and amino acids, not plant precursor bullshit, and also tastes better than grain fed, its undeniable also the cherry picking in the video was done so bad why would you compare 100g serving WITH MUSCLE ON IT and count as fat? the fat in land animal is totally different from the fat in fish the land animal's adipose tissue is not pure fat, it has a lot of added weight, unlike the fat in fish that is basically pure oil, but rendered fat like tallow and lard has similar content, grass fed lard for exemple has a lot more vitamin D than fish oil

another weak video on the topic of nutrition from the same person;

Who eats a 4 ounce steak? Its more like 16 oz which would than make it 260 mg of omega 3

I do not agree we you at all, there is a benefit. Variety, non GMO and more sustainable. I love fish, however, Most people don’t want to eat fish every day, so your not reasonable. I actually feel more satiated when I eat grass fed red meat, and for a lot longer.

Can't take this video that serious, especially when he put a picture of a rib eye where the sir loin is and a porterhouse where the rib eye is

what you said was fair enough, but what you failed to say may invalidate. your conclusions. CLA is of very considerable benefit to human health, and this aspect was not elaborated at all. Moreover, the recognised difference in count between good quality grass fed and non grass fed is nearer ten than two times the content. The Omega content was dismissed as negligible, but you did not base this on the average of all cuts, where the difference is nearer about 3 times and the average of grain cuts is around 30, so the additional contribution to diet per 100 gm even on your own grass/nongras comparison would be about 75. This, for a typical 12oz steak would be a figure of over 300, and significantly more if the grass was of good quality. So at least a third, and possibly twice that, of the recommended daily requirement. Not an overwhelming benefit, but certainly a significant benefit Lastly, the case for other micro-nutrients was not examined at all. If the grass on which the cattle graze is pasture intensively farmed and drenched in Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potash fertiliser, with no healthy natural nutrients, the differences will not be great, as the grass will be of poor quality. If however the pasture is organically managed, with a self sustaining sol structure, the Cattle micro-nutrient profile will be very significantly better.

That salmon icon looks like a carp

400% more omega 3 adds up over time. That's the point. You are obfuscating the data plain and simple

You can safely assume that it is fed on close to 100% grass? Nu-uh! Since there's no standard and no enforcement, then I assume that any rancher could toss a few handfuls of grass at them and get the grass-fed price. "Assuming" equals gullibility. Remember goat milk fudge? Some of that had a mere spoonful and the rest of the dairy ingredients were cows'.

grass fed is healthier. less cholesterol is only 1 advantage. I don't eat beef fed on GMO corn/grains. there is really no comparison.

Also the ratio of Omega 3 to the others is what makes the difference when it comes to inflammation, your argument is false and has little to do with why we eat grass fed

Marketing strikes again!

You focused on such a small scope. Look at inflammation effects and all that

Cows do not live in feed lots. I drove from Texas to Missouri and saw cows everywhere freely ranging on grass just like they always have. Still haven't seen a feedlot. This guy can't bother to do more research than a Google search

Grass fed beef and grain fed beef are the same because salmon has a lot more omega 3 than either of them. Wow. What a great argument.

the hormone profile is the main difference,

eat grain fed and then eat foods like blueberries for anti oxidants :D HAHA HACKED!

Wrong wrong info

LOL, picking data to prove the narrative you wanna start with is absolutely disingenuous. You ONLY picked Omega-3 which we ALL know is found in much much greater degree in Fish, yet you did NOT at all cover CLA, lower fat, lower saturated fat and other vitamins, nutrients between the two. If one ONLY or mostly consumes beef, then having 400X times more Omega-3 is HUGE, and just add a supplement. Do better, this is just misinformation, and not really fact based as they always say "garbage in, garbage out"!

Grass-fed, pasture-raised is humane and GOOD for the environment. Grain-fed in the USA is inhumane, they live in horrible conditions, and growing corn/soy for their feed is REALLY BAD for the environment. I only buy beef from cows raised in New Zealand or Australia. Oh, and just FYI, humans who eat grass-fed beef are much healthier than vegetarians/vegans. Only 1/3 of agricultural land is suitable for crops. The other 2/3 is used for grazing ruminant animals who take grass that is not suitable for human consumption and turn it into food that we can eat. Vegans are actually destroying our planet.

This guy aint got a clue

Yeah, avoid fish out of the Pacific Ocean.

If the cow was eating hay would it still be grass fed.

Not bying it 🤔

Grass fed taste better

You said nothing about vitamin K2 which is what the whole argument is about

People start to discriminate even cows. LMAO

Best cows are vegan, not the ones fed ABPs(animal by-products) or BioSolid (city sewage biscuits).

Most fish means Gout for me. I love sea food :-(

Well, thank you for this. I was fooled by the nutrition industry on KZfaq.

KZfaq hands LOL

I personally believe that if you are concerned about which type of beef is healthier you should switch to chicken breast :)

Man, you're nothing but a shill. I agree that the amount of omega 3 in grass-fed beef is insignificant if you're talking about the daily intake of omega 3, however the amount of omega 3 in grass-fed is very important if your considering the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6. The conventional grain-fed beef contains way more pro-inflamatory omega 6 than omega 3, thus adding even more omega 6 to a diet that, as it's, contains way too much omega 6. Shame on you man, for being a shill for factory animal farming!

Vitamin K2 is also important, but you can get that from grass fed butter.

There is a difference grain Fred has lectins and grass fed doesn't. Grain fed still causes leaky gut

who the hell eats 100 grams of steak? lol i eat 20-24 ounce steaks

Fish >>>>>>

This would be more accurate if it was called fish v beef, you talk more about comparisons with fish than with grassfed v grainfed. Smh.

Only Omega-3 was discussed as the 'nutrients'. As if that's what encompasses all of health. Aside from nutrients, and environment. What is also important to 'health' is the cooking properties between the two - as cooking is what makes the food actually nutritious. Cooking methods that were developed for centuries weren't developed just for making food 'taste good', there was also this alchemy to creating highly nutritious foods through certain processes. Therefore, the behavior of the meat (product of the cows lifestyle and diet) will impact the effect of a cooking method - ultimately the nutrition. Grassfed and grainfed have different cooking properties. also: What kind of microbiome flourishes on grass-fed versus grain-fed while digesting? What kind of grain-born mycotoxins would be stored in the fat cells of those cow which are obviously imbedded in the beef cut? These few ideas heavily impact the health-value of the meat...not just the measured content of whichever nutrient.

Grass fed animals are better for the environment better for the animal better for the meat. It’s more labor that’s what industry doesn’t like. Your health is a result of their laziness.
