Given the research which has already identified metabolic syndrome
problems with the lipid profile of grain fed as opposed to pastured
beef, and with the higher levels of consumption of high GI
carbohydrates which often accompany meaty diets, it's a shame that
they made no effort to disentangle that ambiguity in their results.
