Do you know who the smartest man in the room is? It’s the person who knows he’s not the smartest man in the room.

That being said Robb Wolf lashes into the research establishment over the poorly designed research study. The “meat study” in question utilizes a

food questionaire over a 28 year period.Blog Post:(http://www.robbwolf.com/2012/03/14/red-meat-part-healthy-diet/)

Podcast: (http://traffic.libsyn.com/robbwolf/PaleoSolution-Episode124.mp3)

So what’s wrong with that you ask? The questionaires were sent out every 4 years!!!!

Seriously!!! Can you remember what you had to eat ( and how much)last week, last month??? This design is flawed.

Secondly, all meat is lumped togther with no regard for the type. Lunch meat, meat on pizza, Spam, grass fed—-meat is meat.

We know know there are significant nutritional differences between conventional bought beef and grass-fed, grass finished beef.

How about what’s not in grass-fed meat?

Sean Croxton over at Underground Wellness interviewd Stanley Fishman.

Take a listen: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/undergroundwellness/2012/03/14/tender-grassfed-meat-with-stanley-a-fishman

Oh, by the way, once you here what is added to the feed for conventional meat you may never eat it again!!!

Let’s start with chicken manure and add saw dust, cement, antibiotics and growth hormone for good measure…now that’s good eating!!!

Care to guess what GRASS-FED animals eat…hmmm…GRASS…with a side of….GRASS.

Pink slime, (http://www.naturalnews.com/035241_pink_slime_beef_ammonia.html) has been found in our about 70% of our nation’s conventional beef.

Now if you believe the FDA, or the company the make the ammonia-based slime, this is perfectly safe. It is used, supposedly, to kill higher levels of E. Coli AND also saves them about 3 cents per pound of beef.

That, my friends, is a lot of dollars. http://www.thedaily.com/page/2012/03/12/031212-news-pink-slime-1-2/

The second story, also beef related, basically styates that if you eat beef you will die. Ok, so I’m overstating the study for effect. basically, using the same scare tatics that

mass media is using. In looking at folks, who are far smarter than myself—Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson and Chris Kresser,  lay out the problems with the study itself.

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/will-eating-red-meat-kill-you/

Now with that said, lets take a quick look at the nutrient values in conventional versus grass-fed beef.

The omega 3- Omega 6 ratio for grass-fed beef is…1 to 1.

See additional benefits nutritional of grass-fed beef, including CLA, Vitamin E, etc: http://www.eatwild.com/healthbenefits.htm .

Caio For Now

Paleo is simple concept with broad implications.

Chiropractic is wonderfully simple concept with sweeping effects on the body.

Paleo is universally shunned by the mass media.

Chiropractic has been blasted by the media, AMA, and various other “authorities.”

Paleo gets us back to our roots, with regards to our eating habits and styles.

Chiropractic allows for the mind-body connection to manifest.

Eating Paleo results in some dramatic changes to those suffering from auto-immune diseases.

Chiropractic care has many, many case studies of people that have autoimmune challenges getting wonderful results.

Paleo gets your body to function better by eliminating the want to does not need—sugar, wheat and dairy, etc.

Chiropractic gets your body to function better by eliminating the interference.

Now, the magic happens when you combine these 2  aspects of living.

Healthy Eating and Removal of Nerve Interference

Next we’ll look at exercise, rest and proper mental attitude.

Caio for Now,

Dr. Mike
