Episode notes
Corn-Fed Beef and Inflammation
- Corn-fed beef, while tender and flavorful, is high in inflammatory omega-6 fats.
- These fats can contribute to inflammation and convert into harmful compounds like aldehydes.
Selecting Beef
- Choose grass-fed and grass-finished beef for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratios.
- Be wary of "grass-fed" labels, as they can be misleading; contact companies for clarification.
Cheaper Cuts and Slow Cooking
- Consider cheaper cuts like chuck or round steak, which contain beneficial gristle.
- Slow-cooking these cuts breaks down the gristle into gelatin and collagen, which are good for the microbiome.
