Grass-fed red meat is the best animal protein source because ruminants convert PUFAs to saturated fats.

“ruminants have this really interesting part of their biochemistry whereby they can convert omega-6 into saturated fats so they can actually increase the saturation they can they can sort of change the double bonds and the molecules monogastric animals don't have the ability to do that”

“what we really want to be doing is eating animals that are eating their natural diet which is why grass-fed red meat is the best thing you can be eating even if it is fed corn i am not an advocate for eating feeding corn to ruminants but ruminants have an enzyme in their body that can convert polyunsaturated fatty acids in corn into saturated fatty acids in the tissues of animals”

“humans if we eat polyunsaturated fatty acid we store polyunsaturated fatty acids so if you were to take a biopsy from me or you of the fatty tissue the adipose tissue whether it's like back of the arm you don't have a lot of fat on you but you could find fat whether it's like your butt or something right you could see in that fat how much linoleic acid you've eaten over the last probably two years because you store in direct proportion to how much you're eating”

“ruminants have a rumen they have multiple stomachs they have different biochemistry ruminants can saturate which means remove double bonds from polyunsaturated fatty acids monogastric animals chickens pigs and humans cannot do that”
