Dear John,
Greetings from snowy Northeast Missouri! We are hoping March comes in like a lamb, rather than a lion because we have seen plenty of inclement weather lately. We started off the week with 12 inches of snow but the sun is shining today and no more snow is in the forecast!
Are you looking for a new breakfast snack? Look no farther than our chicken and turkey sausages. These tasty treats are perfect at breakfast, or any time of day. Now is a great time to try the Turkey Provolone Sausage and Chicken with Feta and Spinach Sausage as both are featured volume sale items this week.
Food Freedom Update! Just this week legislation that would allow the sale of raw milk and homemade food products directly from farmer to consumer in the state of Wyoming passed committee and entered the House. This bill, known as the Wyoming Food Freedom Act, would make it easier for farmers to sell their products directly to consumers and make farmers markets more accessible. While this is just one state, it is a small step in the right direction. Visit the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund site for more information, and contact your local Representatives to help make them aware of the great need for this type of legislation.
Have you ever wondered how to cook beef tongue? Our recipe section this week features and easy (and delicious!) recipe in order to enjoy this hard-to-find cut.

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
___________________________________________
Hi Dr. Serrano,
My husband has medically controlled high cholesterol and blood pressure and a calcified aortic valve (possibly from rheumatic fever as a child) that frequently causes chest pressure and shortness of breath. I know that grass-fed beef has omega 3 and CLA, but it also has a concentrated amount of saturated fat. Should my husband eat this food in moderation, and, if so, how much or how often is common for guys who are almost 60 with his condition?
He eats very little meat and dairy, choosing soy products instead because this was such a scare for him. His digestion has improved and his numbers are good.
Thanks for your suggestions.
J.B.
___________________________________________
Dear J.B.:
Eat organic, grass-fed beef, because as I have mentioned in previous articles, it is not the fat, but the source of the fat.
If he is getting saturated fats from bad sources, then he is going to get toxins in it. Go for the organic grass-fed red meat, but again, the key question is how is he feeling? If he is feeling good with high energy levels, then there is nothing to worry about. If he is feeling low energy levels, then we may need to look at other parts of his diet.
In addition I wouldn't use soy at all because of the estrogenic and insulinogenic properties.
All the best,
Dr. Serrano

What Our Customers Are Saying

John,
Thought you'd be interested to hear this: since getting your newsletter and getting subsequent information regarding grass-fed products and better understanding the dangers of our industrial food supply I switched to a grass-based diet five months ago.
I eat high-fat foods (grass-fed) with cholesterol, no sugars and only whole grain carbs. Thanks to you and the information you've driven me to, I understand inflammation and how the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 is thrown out of whack by corn based food.
In 2007 I had a massive heart attack (100% blockage of LAD) suffering permanent heart damage and I have an ICD in my chest. The thing that saved me at age 58 was excellent physical condition.
I get my blood work done every 6 months. The past test results showed my cholesterol stayed the same (188), my HDL was up, my LDL was down, my homocysteines and triglycerides were down. All my meds were the same the only change was my diet. Going to a high fat (grassfed) diet and having these results flies in the face of conventional wisdom, not to mention causing my doctor to develop a sudden stutter.
Thanks for your influence,
P.M. |
