This I know if the cut of beef or egg's I am going to eat has Omega-3 fatty acids it won't really matter to me as far as the saturated fat content is concerned. And coconut oil is plant based which has a different type of saturated fat or has a natural chemical thats healthy like there is in dark chocolate which dark chocolate helps lower blood pressure and the two are different from the beef saturated fat as they have different properities.
If the chicken or cattle were raised naturally the right way like they were at the turn of the 19th centry or on today's smaller cattle farms where cattle were glazing the land eating grasses without hormone injections and crap like that beef and eggs should and do the natural ones have Omega-3 heart healthy fats.
The problem is alot of cattle farms became corporations and massed produced their cattle to get them to market and the end product is no Omega-3 fatty acids in the beef or egg's as the chicken's weren't fed the right feed and you basically have beef and egg's that aren't healthy as it isn't naturally produced as it was intended for the human body.
Thus if you were a hunter in cave man days you saw a wild animal wondering around you could bet that animal once you killed it was filled with Omega-3 fats as well as saturated fats but both together are better than just the one that has saturated fats with hormones etc.
Deer hunters around these parts kill wild deer and the cut of meat has saturated fats but the meat is also filled with Omega-3 fatty acids... why? Because it's a wild animal and it's feeding on grasses and berries etc., not being subjected to controlled feedings and hormone injections.
Anyway, I'll stick to the natrual cuts of beef and if the label doesn't say it I won't be buying it I'd just eat wild salmon to get my proteins from foods if I can't find the natural cuts. But Walmart has the cuts as well as other smaller stores but there are even debates now going on if what you buy says natural. Is it really natural and if it turns out it's not natural I see alot of suing going on. I also have the option of relatives small cattle farms.
As far as gaining any type of knowledge one must take what they read and decide for themselves what they want to put into their bodies.
Brainwashing really doesn't have anything to do with it as these issues are debates and they continue on today amongst doctors. Are all doctors morons? I don't think so, but alot of them are and I have met a few in my time and disputed everything they tried to put me on like medicines etc., and I am doing OK health wise.
It really just comes down to who do you what to believe? This doctor or this trainer or Mr. Wiggles who lives down the street whose 105 years old 40lbs overweight who has smoked his whole life eats hot dogs and hamburgers and tator chips everyday and drinks coke cola's and works the farm.
Nothing anymore is black and white if it were then these debates would never come up everyone would be eating and being merry and having great sex at any age.
If I see a study on bodybuilders-powerlifters who consume large amounts of red meat and beef and they are in their later years without signs of heart disease I'd like to read it and I just might change my mind because just maybe we bodybuilders and powerlifters are a different special breed of stock amongst the population.
I do know we are healthier but just how healthy in the coming years will we be in the beef selection we consume and if the beef selection isn't natural will supplementing with fish oils be enough to get the Omege-3's is the question.
At my age I keep an open mind as new studies are coming out everyday so I'll leave it there but I do respect your opinion Alex but what is your background on this area?

Why would coconut oil be healthy and beef fat not? They're both saturated and have the same chemical properties. They are used in exactly the same way by the body. So why pray, is animal fat worse?
Cause everyone's been brainwashed into thinking red meat is the devil, that's why. But we get kids at 17 with failing sex drives, I ask them what they eat, and I see a chicken breast and oatmeal diet..
Eat yer beef, fatty or not!
