Cow Brains
Good question. I don't think people should eat animals at all, but if you're going to eat them, the brain is actually one of the most nutritionally-dense organsfound in any animal. From a nutritional standpoint, the brain is the best source of healthy oils in all land animals. In fact, human children who grew up eating the brains of animals have healthierbrains and nervous systems than those who didn't.
Animal brains are also a very good source of cholesterol, and even though cholesterol has been named as a dietary culprit over the last few decades,that information is now largely understood to be incorrect. Cholesterol itself is not the culprit. Cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease. In fact, you need to consume some amount of cholesterol tobe able to manufacture essential hormones.
Today, there's a lot of talk about healthy fish oils and cod liver oil. What is cod liver oil but the oil that's squeezed out of the liver organ of acodfish? In the same way, cow brain oil, if there were such a product, would be the oil squeezed out of the brain organ of the cow. They are essentially the same concept, and they both produce very healthyoils from a nutritional point of view. Everybody knows, for example, that DHA is an important oil for the brain health of infants and children. Those who eat more DHA have been clinically proven to besmarter in adulthood. And guess what's found in cow brains? DHA.
In fact, some of the best animal sources of DHA are the retina, the brain and another bodily fluid that's too gross to mention hereas a food source. It's interesting that people who eat beef skip all the parts of the animal that would enhance their own brain function, isn't it? A lack of dietary DHA promotes heart disease,Alzheimer's, dementia and poor cognitive function. Poor cognitive function (i.e. a poorly performing brain) causes people to make poor decisions about diet, such as eating more beef. And so the cycle...
