Debate: Grass Fed Vs. Grain Fed Beef 

There’s a major emphasis on grass-fed over grain-fed beef right now. Grass-fed does have a better omega-3 profile, but the difference isn’t so significant that it translates to benefiting your health. Let me walk you through this:
There are 11 types of omega-3s. The primary 3 that people care about are DHA, EPA, and ALA. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is plant-based, and grass-fed beef does contain more than grain-fed beef. Per 4oz of beef, grass-fed beef has 0.055g whereas grain-fed beef has 0.020g. There is a difference between the two, but it’s not enough ALA to translate to improving your health markers. You’re better off sprinkling flaxseed over your beef if you want more of this type of omega-3 in your diet.
