>That's probably a worse nutritional profile.
That doesn't seem to be the consensus. There are many studies that meat is unhealthy (I'm not sure what you mean by naturally grown, perhaps hormones?). Red meat in particular is considered to be very unhealthy. Also you can get stearic acid from other sources that don't have that much saturated fat and cholesterol.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoNaturally grown for cows means grass-fed. It has other meanings for different animals, but it generally means a diet & lifestyle comparable to what their wild cousins have. Red meat studies generally consider hot dogs to be red meat. The very few studies that separate unprocessed red meat from processed red meat find that unprocessed red meat is just as healthy or even healthier than poultry meat.
- mangodrunk 14y agoI see. Well there is this study that concludes that meat from grass-fed cows is healthier than their grain-fed counterparts [1] but I'm not sure if you can still consider either healthy and I think you can find other foods that are much healthier. >Red meat studies generally consider hot dogs to be red meat. I don't think that is generally the case. There is this study that differentiated between the two [2] and the conclusion was that there was an increase in health risks for unprocessed, but the processed variety was worse. I understand that it's not good to use one study as proof (or for that matter any number of studies) but there seem to be more than just this one.
