The data shows that grass fed beef are rich in fats promoting health and low in fats that are linked to diseases.  All food fats are a blend of different saturated and unsaturated fats. The unsaturated fats are the healthier fats which are both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. Wagyu meat is genetically superior to most western beef, both in tenderness and marbling as well as levels of unsaturated fats. The essential omega 3s and omega 6’s are types of polyunsaturated fats. After much clinical investigation it has been determined that our diets should consist of an omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of 4:1. Higher ratios of omega 6 to omega 3 are associated with health problems. When the proper balance of omega 6 to omega 3 is maintained it has been shown to prevent diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, arthritis, cancer and other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
