About Health Benefits
In addition
to having an extra helping of CLA, products from pastured animals have
an ideal balance of essential fatty acids or EFAs. There are two families
of EFAs-omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. According to a new French study,
when women eat food that is relatively rich in omega-3s and low in omega-6s,
they have a 76 percent reduction in their risk of breast cancer. Products
from grass fed (also known as grassfed or grass-fed) animals and wild
game have this ideal ratio of EFAs. (Maillard, V., P. Bougnoux, P.
Ferrari, M. L. Jourdan, M. Pinault, F. Lavillonniere, G. Body, O. Le
Floch, and V. Chajes. "Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Breast
Adipose Tissue and Relative Risk of Breast Cancer in a Case-Control
Study in Tours, France." Int J Cancer 98, no. 1 (2002): 78-83.)
