Summary

This study looked at whether eating meat and eggs from pastured (regenerative) farms affects health differently than conventional products. Eighty middle-aged adults ate either pastured or conventional chicken, beef, pork, and eggs for 16 weeks. Researchers measured omega-3 fatty acids in red blood cells and other health markers to see if the farming method makes a difference.
