This is only remotely close to being on topic for this thread. But since you two are talking about eating meat for health benefits, or more specifically heart health, I will link this presentation on stearic acid. It appears stearic acid (high levels in animal fats and a few other sources) helps mitochondria perform better. Of course mitochondria are the energy producers of our cells including heart cells. So with that association in mind I have remotely associated this video into this thread conversation in relation to your comments.
