Grass-fed or Organic: Which Is Healthier?

Get access to my FREE resources 👉 drbrg.co/4aJU4T9
If you’re in the grocery store and they don’t have grass-fed organic, only grass-fed or organic, which should you choose? In this video, I’ll let you know.

Grass-fed vs. Organic:
Organic
• If something says its 100% organic, then it’s organic
• If something just says organic, then it’s 95.99% organic
• Organic means without pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, or biosolids (sewage sludge)
Grass-fed
• There is no legal definition of grass-fed (it needs to be grass-finished)
• Grain-fed beef is heavy in omega 6 fatty acids, grass-fed is not (omega 6 fatty acids are more inflammatory, omega 3 fatty acids are more anti-inflammatory)
• Grass-fed beef has CLA, and more vitamin A and vitamin E
Ideally, you want to consume grass-fed grass-finished 100% certified organic. I personally use a company called US Wellness Meats.

They also use the sewage sludge as a low cost fertilizer for produce! This is one of the reasons produce doesn't have the nutrients it should. Our body's take what nutrients are available and pass the rest and that gets used to fertilize our crops.
