Mark Johnson: Beef – The Perfect Dietary Protein? |
Mark Johnson, Oklahoma State University Extension Beef Cattle Breeding Specialist, offers herd health advice as part of the weekly series known as the “Cow Calf Corner,” published electronically by Dr. Derrell Peel, Mark Johnson, and Paul Beck. Today, Johnson talks about the benefits of beef in the diet.
Every five years the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) work together to update and release the Dietary Guidelines for Americans which should reflect the current body of nutritional science in order to provide advice on what to eat and drink to meet nutritional needs, promote health, and prevent disease. As the debate heats up at the federal level about how much beef will be included in the newest version, it seems appropriate to address the question in my title.
Is beef the perfect dietary protein? What are facts? First, beef is nutrient-dense. Nutrient density refers to foods that are rich in nutrients but relatively low in calories. Beef is also highly digestible and humans are equipped with a digestive system well-designed to digest beef and use its nutrients. Beef gives your body the nutrients it needs with great taste and eating satisfaction.
