Grassfed meats are rich in all the fats now classified as health-enhancing, but low in the fats that are linked with disease. Grassfed buffalo meat has a healthy ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's (3 to 1). It is one of the richest sources of Conjugated Linoleic Acid, (CLA) which has been shown to slow the progress of some types of cancer and heart disease, reduce body fat, and increase muscle mass. It is interesting to note that buffalo meat has half the artery-clogging fats of soy.
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University has shown that the meat from buffalo is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its caloric value.
