beef also contains much higher levels
of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has shown some promising

lean muscle mass.

beef is recommanded over the more common grain - fed variety because it is
leaner and more nutritious, according to the Agriculture and Natural Resource Department — University
of California (Health
