Does Seven Sons 100% Grass-fed Beef pass the test?

Over the years since we've been producing and marketing grass-fed beef a few of our customers have asked to see actual scientific proof that our grass-fed beef does contain the high amounts of CLA’s and Omega-3s that recent researchers like Joe Robinson have been telling us.

We are very proud to inform all of our customers that this proof is now here! Just a few short months ago a sample of beef taken from one of our many 100% grass-fed steers was sent to Skaggs Nutrition Lab at the University of Utah State where grass-fed researcher Dr. Tilak Dhiman performed in depth Fatty Acid Analysis of our beef.
The results of Dr. Dhimans research is very exciting!
“Your results looked very good” was one of the first statements from Amber Mckee who is Dr. Dhimans Lab Assistant. Dr. Dihman also echoed her same comments.

Here's a quick summary of the results:
The amount of CLA of the total fatty acids was .86%. This is a high percentage when compared to grain-fed beef which can be as low as .35%.
The Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio also looked very good with a result of 1.3 to 1.0, again this is very good when compared to traditional grain-fed beef which often has an Omega 6:3 ratio greater than 14 to 1.

What does all this mean? I think Ted Slanker from Slanker’s Grass-fed Meats explains this best:
Scientists have discovered that fat is essential for good health. They've also determined that there is no such thing as "good fats" and "bad fats." All fats are good. But if the balance of fats is inappropriate, then that leads to body failures (chronic disease). The balance of fats (the ratio of Omega-6 fatty acids to Omega-3 Fatty Acids) in the membranes of the cells in our bodies should replicate that of green leafy plant material. That ratio hovers around one to one. When the ratio is skewed, for instance when it's greater than four to one, body failures start to occur. This is why the meats you eat must have ratios that are very close to one to one. Even four to one is unacceptable.
