Animals avoid GM food

In a liter of milk different cows produce different amounts of butter fat, yes. But you can look further into it and examine the type of butter fat. Have you heard of saturated fats, monunsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats , omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids? Grain fed cows produce more omega-6 in the butter fat, whereas grass fed cows produce more omega-3, and the milk will last longer and probably have probably have? Any actual evidence I from time to time post my triglyceride vs omega-3 figures on sci.med.cardiology. Fish oil (omega-3 containing) lowers it. Maybe there is not enough in grass-fed milk to have the same effect, but grain-fed meat hurts some people see below. As in the UK there is no such thing as grass fed milk in the winter, while even the 'grain feed' is actually a complex mixture of things such as sugar beet, maize gluten, rape meal etc, I suspect that the figures are pretty meaningless Looks like quite a bit of omega-6 in that diet. better health properties - such as reducing your blood level of triglycerides. But some people may not like the grass-fed milk taste. Since chickens have been grain-fed, humans' level of anti-inflammatory drug use has increased and that may be connected since the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid showing in grain-fed chicken tends to be more inflammatory I think than omega-3. Note that since the advent of television humans' level of anti-inflammatory drug use has increased and you have presented as much evidence for cause and effect for the effects of chicken feed as I am going to do for television Alf Christophersen h and he is exactly who? A long time writer on sci.med.nutrition who seems very knowledgable. I know about reumatic : people who can eat freely mutton when the sheeps has just come from the : mountains, but get very sick in spring if the mutton is a sheep that has : been fed with n-6 rich food during winter. A big difference is the : n-6/n-3 proportion which is very low in the autumn after the animals has : been fed wild growing grass that are rich in n-3 acids and low in n-6 : acids. In spring, the proportion is normally high because the sheep are : fed grains that mostly contain n-6 acids and thus the meat should : contain significant amounts of arachidonic acid. oh goodie an anecdote. But any trails, or any evidence? Pubmed has a lot on arachidonic acid, COX pathways and inflammation. |
