Pork fat from pigs fed corn and soy can contain 10-15% or more linoleic acid, compared to wild pigs with around 4-5%.

“specifically that wild pork is probably what five to six percent linoleic acid in the fat i would i would think so”

“if you feed a pig linoleic acid or a chicken linoleic acid that that accumulates that actually changes you know the sort of basic nature of that animal right and none of the other macronutrients sort of like bioaccumulate the way that polyunsaturated fats do”

“i'm a fan of ruminant animal fat which would be goat fat deer fat bison fat cow fat”

“if you feed a pig grains its fat will be significantly more uh full of linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids above 15 to 20 percent whereas a pig fed on low linoleic acid foods or a wild pig is going to have about five percent linoleic acid relative to a ruminant which is going to have less than two”

“these ruminants have about 2% of their fat from linolic Acid so there's plenty of linolic acid for humans in ruminants”

“what are chickens fed corn and soy generally they're fed diets that are much higher in linoleic acid than they would get in the wild what does a wild chicken eat pretty sure they eat bugs and worms they don't eat a lot of grains because there's not a lot of grains in the wild for them to eat”

“what are most pigs fed in fact what are 99.99 of all pigs fed corn soy and seed oils in their crappy feed which means excess linoleic acid excess omega-6 accumulates right there in the fat”

“what we know is that wild chickens wild turkeys wild pigs have much lower amounts of linoleic acid in their fat than do domesticated animals because there's linoleic acid in the feed of these animals”

“but if you're eating bacon chances are unless you raise that pig that that pork fat can have a significant amount of linoleic acid in it I think I've seen numbers more than 10 percent or maybe even 15 percent of that pork fat can be linoleic acid versus a a wild pig or hog which has around four to five percent linoleic acid”

“this is why I'm a big fan of ruminant animals like beef bison goat sheep lamb because if the animals are ruminant if it has cloven Hooves then it can doesn't accumulate linoleic acid in the same way so even if a cow is fed grains which is not ideal it will still have around two percent linoleic acid in its fat because these animals can interconvert they can saturate polyunsaturated fats remove double bonds we can't do that pigs can't do that chickens can't do that”

“There's literature like this to suggest that in wild chickens and wild pigs, the amount of linoleic acid is around 5%, 5% or 6%, but in domesticated chickens and pigs, you're looking at 15%, 16%, 17% linoleic acid”

“so the pork I'm interested in because a lot of pork today is just fed grains and I've talked about the fact that when you feed a pig grains especially corn and soy that are high in lenic acid the pork fat becomes enriched in lenic acid”

“if a cow is fed grains it has essentially the same amount of linolic acid in its fat as a cow that's fed grass I think a cow is better when it's fed grass but a grain-fed cow does not have the same magnification of linolic acid and tissue as a chicken a CH or a pig because they're monogastric”

“When a pig is fed corn and soy, the amount of linoleic acid in the fat goes way up. If you look at wild hogs, the amount of linoleic acid and the fat is like four to 5%. A pigfed corn and soy is like 20% linoleic acid.”
