A Ground Beef That Won’t KILL You?

If you haven’t noticed, there are more products on the market today that are filled with beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

And those products have been approved specifically to promote increased omega-3 fatty acids intake by you and your family.

There are products such as eggs, pastas, yogurts, and even milk that contain these healthy fats.

And now there is even ground beef that contains it!

Wait, what?

That’s right!

Thanks to new research and technology from Kansas State University, they have developed a way to infuse omega-3 fatty acids into ground beef.

And not just a little bit either!

A quarter pound patty may contain upwards of 200mg of omega-3 fats!

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Your Health

Omega-3 fatty acids – which are essential fats that your body needs – have been shown to improve many aspects of your health.

From better heart health, lower cholesterol, and improved triglycerides, omega-3 fats have been used for a number of years to improve different aspects of heart health.

Besides heart health, these beneficial fats have also been shown to improve eye health, brain health, and reproductive health.

And due to these health benefits, your doctor, cardiologist, or other health professional may have recommended omega-3 fatty acids
supplementation every day.

Now, do you think that omega-3 fats have benefits outside of just human?

Of course, if you answered yes, you would be correct!

Research done on mice, rats, and other animals have shown tremendous health benefits across the board for many different health ailments.

Now, you may be thinking (since this is about ground beef) what about cows?

Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial to cattle!

Through their own research, they discovered a couple things.

First, they noticed that when they added flaxseed to the cows feed, the levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the cows increased.

And the more flaxseed they included, the higher the levels were.

Now, cows have a pretty sophisticated internal digestive system, where any leftover fat is transformed – by their gut bacteria – into
saturated fats, which was one reason they attributed the low levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

But by adding in more flaxseed, they found that they were able to change the fatty acids profile in the cows.

And, the addition of more omega-3 fats may have led to fewer respiratory diseases and higher fertility rates among cows (most dairy cows are infertile).

And through testing and taste-testing, they found that the omega-3 fatty acid enriched burger tasted the same as a regular burger – but with possible added health benefits.

Omega-3 Rich Food Sources

There are plenty of ways to get omega-3 fatty acids – both from meat and plant sources.

Foods such as wild-caught fatty fish, grass-fed red meat, and flaxseeds or flaxseed oil are all options that may spring to mind when talking about omega-3 fatty acids.

And now, you may be able to find (in select stores) ground beef that may be enriched with omega-3 fatty acids.

By changing the feed of the cows, the developers may have found a way to increase the omega-3 fatty acids level, therefore possibly providing as much as 200mg of omega-3 fatty acids in a quarter pound patty.

Encouraging greater omega-3 fatty acid intake may lead to improvements in different areas of health – including heart, eye, brain, and reproductive health.

Now, if you can’t get access to the meat and you may not like flaxseeds or oil or fish, then there is another way to get these beneficial fats...
