White Meat vs. Fish and Beef

There about the health benefits of pork. It's a decent source of protein... but doesn't have much else going for it. One reason we recommend wild-caught fish and grass-fed beef in ETR is that they contain healthful omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s provide a myriad of health benefits ranging from balancing blood sugar and protecting against heart health to protecting against cancer and even Alzheimer's disease.

So go ahead and enjoy organic, nitrite-free pork that's been naturally raised. But if you're trying to get the most out of your protein, stick to fatty fish - like wild salmon, sardines, and Pacific halibut - and grass-fed beef.
