though the data is conflicting a grass-fed meat will have lower levels of linoleic acid I believe
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

it's pretty clear that grass-fed cattle have less linoleic acid in their fat which is probably a good thing for humans because i suspect that excess linoleic acid in animal fat is contributing to the total pool of linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids in humans and that could be a major driver for metal metabolic dysfunction
what you will notice also in this paper looking at the fatty acid profile of ruminants is that the other one that we're looking at that's problematic is c18 2 & 6 so this is linoleic acid and we can see here pretty small amounts and smaller amounts in grass-fed meat so slight I'll give a plug for grass-fed meat you guys know I love this more more stearic acid and generally more stearic acid and less linoleic acid across the board in grass-fed meat
so what does cause metabolic dysfunction what starts the fire i believe this is linoleic acid this is not my original idea i'm building on the work of others peter at hyperlipid has done a great thread called the protons thread
so it's it's getting close to it's approximating grass-fed cattle ungulates i mean uh that are out grazing on grass which you know like i said are down in the one to three percent range something like that in their omega-6 that's where we all should be is in that range
grass-fed grass-finished ruminant meat is quite low less than two percent of grass-fed grass-finished fat is linoleic acid so and which to my point of view is a great indication of what we ought to be eating
it's 99.9 of what i eat is just grass-fed grass-finished beef here in costa rica and it's low linoleic acid
