Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the above?

Skip to about 30 minutes if you just want to hear the meat part.

Everything I've read on most websites regarding red meat is that it's bad for your liver. But this guy has put it onto his list of foods to actually help fatty liver disease.

There's so much conflicting info out there!

Red meat does provide good nutrition. You must understand that at the end of the day there are BETTER sources of nutrition. I believe that is what makes things confusing and hard to follow.

The best sources of proteins are complete in that they contain all the amino acids like breast milk, fish eggs and then bird eggs.

The second consideration is what else comes with that source of protein? Fatty Fish and fish eggs contain omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Bird eggs contain omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids + some B-vitamins (calcium too if you eat a tiny bit of the shell). Red meats provide plenty of B-vitamins and iron.

So, you need protein and you want it as complete with as many amino acids as possible, plus you want healthy fatty acids and vitamins. Taking all considerations together, red meat is good, but not the best. Eggs end up being the most complete and with a low caloric cost.

Red meat is the hardest food for the liver to digest and I'm living proof of that. As everytime I eat a lot of red meat say prime rib or a nice steak. I'm sicker then a dog and end up in bed and in the bathroom. A small hamburger I can handle. I love prime rib, but I can't have it, nor a t-bone, my liver just refuses to work that hard to digest it. He is wrong!!

I came from a beef eating family - my dad grew up on a ND ranch but I cut down on the amount of beef I ate years ago and switched to ground bison when I wanted a hamburger or meat sauce. Bison is free range, raised in small herds and thus don’t require antibiotics- - it has much less fat than beef as well. You can eat it rare too which is a concern with beef today. The taste is much more like what beef tasted like in the 1950s. We don’t eat huge amounts since I’m not sure how it rates for the liver but it is much better than beef. Bison steak I found to be a bit tough.
