In the episode with Dr Nasha Winters at around the 38:25 mark she says
“I’ve looked at the labs of someone who’s eating corn fed and finished cows to grass fed and finished cows. Insulin growth factor is a night and day difference. You can see that it is much harder to lower the blood sugar in people eating corn fed animals than they are over grass fed. You can see the data thousands of times over.”
I wonder if she really meant corn fed and finished because from what I understand about most cow feeding is that they are all grass fed until the finishing stages and most are grain/corn finished.
I wonder if she is remarking on the difference in the insulin growth factor having to do with ONLY the difference between eating corn fed vs grass fed and not just their previous diets they came to her with and the one she puts them on.
I understand that if you can afford it and it is available to you that you are probably better off with grass fed/finished beef. What i’d really love to know, and I think a lot of people would definitively, is it worth the extra expense and how big of a difference does it make? This podcast so far is the first time i’ve seen someone claim real evidence in the differences between the two types of beef. I see a lot of the zero carb veterans claiming that there are minimal differences. It seems the zero carb beef lovers even prefer the grain finished cows cause they get more fat.
