Number One: Grassfed beef is more healthful and nutritious than grain-fed beef. The fat profile is the same for both types of beef; 40-50% saturated fat, 40-50% monounsaturated fat and about 8-10% polyunsaturated fat. The saturated fat in grain-fed beef is higher in fats likely to raise your bad cholesterol levels and lower in fats likely to raise your good cholesterol levels, when compared to grassfed beef....Read more
