Desai explains how yo-yo dieting, often caused by extreme, unsustainable eating plans, can raise your risk of heart attack, stroke, and long-term weight gain. She encourages slow, lasting dietary changes and suggests exploring healthier options like nut-based cheeses to support better heart health and sustainable weight management. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.ifwewerefamily.com/dieting-bad-for-health/ & http://www.ifwewerefamily.com/dairy-cheese-good/ Quotes to ponder: "Weight variability (which can be caused by yo-yo dieting) can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke, and can also negatively affect your blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels." "The best thing to do is to make healthy changes slowly to how you eat." "Dairy cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, but it also has unhealthy fat in it." Learn more about your ad choices.

We're coming in hot today with a science backed episode discussing the new Food Pyramid guidelines in America. This is NOT a political conversation.  This is a conversation about how nutrition based scientific evidence proves that these new guidelines fuel chronic disease. We're getting into the agricultural ties that impact this change and how their profit is more important than public health outcomes.Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Markets are slowly building momentum as Valentine's Day demand begins to take shape. Beef inches higher, chicken keeps climbing, pork waits for its next move, dairy tests a rally, and grains remain quiet. The coming weeks will show whether this momentum sticks — or stalls.BEEF: Production pulled back last week as middle meats begin their seasonal climb toward Valentine's Day. With strips already charging higher and end cuts showing mixed signals, this market feels ready for its next move.POULTRY: Chicken prices keep pushing higher with no real resistance in sight. But a major jump in avian flu losses adds a new wildcard that could shift the story quickly.GRAINS: Grain markets continue drifting sideways, weighed down by ample supply. Until demand shows up in force, this quiet pattern looks set to continue.PORK: Bellies hesitated just as a rally seemed ready to start, leaving pork in value territory a bit longer. The question now is how long this pause really lasts.DAIRY: Dairy keeps rallying, but recent trading raises doubts about how strong this move really is. The next couple of weeks should reveal whether this run has legs.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

In this episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Peggy Coffeen interviews Dr. Jacey Benzing, a large animal veterinarian from St. Anna's Veterinary Clinic in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Dr. Benzing shares her path from a childhood fascination with veterinary medicine, sparked by an unforgettable experience with her backyard pony, to her present role where she helps dairy farms achieve their goals. She discusses her passion for calf health and employee training, the challenges she faced in her early career, and the importance of a strong support network. Benzing also talks about the physical and mental demands of being a large animal vet, the critical role of colostrum management for calves, and the importance of regular data analysis and team collaboration in dairy practice. Additionally, she emphasizes the value of mentorship and her aspiration to become fluent in Spanish to better connect with farm workers.00:00 Introduction to Dr. Jacey Benzing00:38 Welcome to the Uplevel Dairy Podcast01:10 Heritage Vet Partners Overview01:33 Dr. Benzing's Journey to Veterinary Medicine01:52 From Horses to Dairy Cows06:23 Challenges and Rewards in Veterinary Practice11:24 Support Systems and Mentorship13:54 Focus on Calf Health19:59 Employee Training and Teamwork22:43 Reflections and Future Goals31:03 Conclusion and FarewellThis episode is brought to you by Heritage Vet PartnersHeritage Vet Partners is the nation's leading veterinary partnership, specializing in mixed and large animal practices.  Heritage Vet Partners provides a unique partnership model that preserves local practice legacies, serving dairy and other livestock producers and companion animal owners through shared services, data, and strategic growth.

Every five years, the U.S. dietary guidelines get updated. Usually, that update triggers some mix of frustration, disbelief and déjà vu. This time was different… not because the guidelines suddenly got human nutrition right, but because they moved slightly closer to reality. There's finally more emphasis on whole foods and less on ultra-processed junk. The old grain-heavy food pyramid has effectively been flipped. That alone is meaningful progress. If someone followed these guidelines instead of the Standard American Diet, they'd likely see improvements in weight, blood sugar and overall metabolic health. But "better than before" isn't the same as optimal. In this episode, I walk through what the new guidelines get right, and where they still fall short – especially for people who care about metabolic health, fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding and raising resilient kids. One major issue is immediately evident: nutrient density and bioavailability are largely ignored.  The pyramid's Vitamin A recommendations focus on plant sources that require conversion, while the most reliable sources — animal foods like liver, eggs and dairy — are absent from the conversation.  Meanwhile, protein sources are treated as interchangeable, even though amino acid profiles, micronutrients, and absorption differ dramatically between animal and plant foods. Dairy is included, but without meaningful context around processing methods and individual tolerance. Baby formula is framed as an "alternative" to breast milk, without acknowledging the trade-offs. Fruits and vegetables are encouraged "throughout the day," quietly endorsing constant snacking while ignoring metabolic rest. None of this is accidental. These guidelines are political compromises more than they're based on physiological reality. They're designed to be broadly acceptable, not metabolically precise. The takeaway isn't to blindly reject the guidelines — it's to treat them as a starting point, not a finish line. Real health requires understanding food quality, preparation, sourcing, and context — not just categories on a chart. This episode is about learning where to think for yourself, where nuance matters, and why trusting labels or authority without questioning incentives has never been a winning strategy.

The new HHS Health Guidelines prioritize “science” over “DEI,” according to a press release. They also prioritize America “culture,” which since WWII has become one of excess; and since the Cold War began, one of rugged individualism with no consideration for how diet and lifestyle could effect the larger society as a whole - culturally, economically, medically, etc. The new health guidelines also promote Big Dairy and Big Meat. Just one week after the new guidelines released, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act was signed into law, requiring schools to offer “at least two different options of fluid milk at lunch daily.” The White House is also cracking down on foreign owned meat packing cartels and domestic ones for illegal collusion. Considering how the 2017 sugar trade deal and the 2025 restrictions on sugar imports promoted domestic sugar use in sugary drinks, essentially promoting Big Junk, and considering how a May 5, 2025, White House directive and the May 12, 2025, executive order sought to facilitate “direct-to-consumer purchasing programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell their products to American patients,” the HHS focus on Big Meat/Dairy is not merely a gift to Big Agriculture, but correlates with new SenseHub technology from Merck, the DOJ meatpacking investigation and meatpacking new automation. It also correlates to a potential promotion of artificially produced meats that will be needed to fulfill the need set by the HHS. Furthermore, to produce more meat companies will need more labor, which for meatpacking plants and slaughter-houses requires large numbers of traditionally illegal workers. In other words, they track record of the current administration, so far has spent more sugar, more drugs, more meat, more dairy, and protection of special interests.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Greg Nye introduces himself and Mountain View Dairy, where he manages three facilities and associated farm ground. He outlines the design and construction timeline of their fully enclosed feed center and shares the three primary benefits behind the project: reduced shrinkage, improved ration consistency, and enhanced employee safety. (1:41)Greg explains how external receiving and intentionally separated traffic flows eliminate cross-traffic between loaders and delivery trucks, which significantly improves safety and efficiency. The group discusses early design considerations, lessons learned from other operations, and how “R&D” (rob and duplicate) helped shape the final layout of the facility. (2:32)Scott and Walt introduce footage showing how feeds are received, stored, and staged. Greg walks through the grain elevator, unloading, conveyor systems, bay storage, and handling efficiencies that minimize ingredient touches. (5:03)Greg explains how strategic ingredient placement and facility layout shorten cycle time for high-use ingredients while maintaining flexibility for premixes and specialty feeds. He then goes into inventory management strategies, including rotating bins, tracking shrinkage, and maintaining ingredient freshness. (6:32)The conversation shifts to dust control and shrink reduction, highlighting the enclosed facility design and the use of an industrial baghouse system to recapture nutrients. Feed processing is simplified by reducing complex operations to just a few controls. Greg highlights the impact of reducing corn handling to a single touch and how it accelerated ROI.  (8:28)Finally, Greg discusses ration delivery innovations, including feed staging on conveyors and a custom delivery box that allows multiple loads to be staged and delivered efficiently. He shares how learning from other operations and refining those ideas to fit their scale and how it played a critical role in designing a system that maximizes efficiency without sacrificing flexibility. (15:08)As we look ahead, join us for the next Real Producers Exchange on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, featuring Skylar Gerke, an Arizona dairyman with Midwestern roots. Skylar brings a unique perspective on what it's like to transition from Midwest dairying to operating in the West. Registration is now open at balchem.com/real-science or agproud.com/real-producer. And as always, thank you to Walt for riding shotgun once again, and to our loyal listeners—thanks for being part of the journey. (20:39)

The US has released new dietary guidelines, and they’ve already caused a nutrition firestorm. Higher protein targets. More dairy. Fewer carbs. A tougher stance on ultra-processed foods. But do these changes actually matter, especially if you live in Australia? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell break down what’s changed, why it’s controversial, and what’s genuinely useful versus what can be ignored. Then we get practical, because real nutrition decisions happen in lunchboxes and supermarket aisles, not food pyramids. In this episode: The new US dietary guidelines and why they’ve divided dietitians Higher protein targets, dairy’s comeback, and the carb rethink What this could signal for future Australian guidelines Why ultra-processed foods are finally being called out Plus: A simple lunchbox formula that actually works Why kids’ lunches are often low in protein, and easy fixes The truth about protein meat snacks and “no nitrate” options A high-protein milk worth considering Are fermented veggies really worth it for gut health?

In this episode, Allison Melody opens with a no filter Q&A that goes everywhere the mainstream won't. From the hidden reality of the dairy industry and why cows only produce milk when they're pregnant, to what really happens when creators are censored, reinstated, and quietly invited back after years of being silenced. She shares her personal experience with peptides, what she's learned so far, and why she believes they should be approached thoughtfully and with the right medical support. Then things get a little spicy. Allison spills the tea on a former Food Heals guest who is now making waves on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the rise of manifestation gurus, and what happens when empowerment crosses the line into grifting. After the Q&A, Allison welcomes award winning author and longtime vegan Ellen Kanner, author of Miami Vegan, for a vibrant conversation about food, culture, and sex. They talk about: Tropical flavors and plant based living inspired by Miami Why vegetables should be the star of the plate How to make vegan food sexy, flavorful, and accessible Aphrodisiac foods you should be cooking for date night The surprising connection between watermelon, nutmeg, avocado, and sex How plants can support intimacy, circulation, and connection Plus, practical tips for eating plant based on a budget, navigating restaurants as a vegan, and making the transition without feeling deprived. If food is medicine, this episode proves it can also be pleasure. Get Ellen's book Miami Vegan and learn more at soulfulvegan.com.

Food Elimination Diets for Kids: When They Help and When They Make Eczema WorseWhen your child's eczema or allergies flare, it's natural to start scanning the plate. Dairy goes first. Then gluten. Then eggs. Then anything that feels even remotely suspicious. And yet… the flare-ups keep coming.This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're continuing our Eczema and Allergies Series by taking a closer look at food elimination — not from a place of blame, but from a place of understanding. We explore why cutting more and more foods can sometimes leave families feeling stuck, stressed, and confused, and why food isn't always the real issue driving ongoing reactions.In this episode, we unpack:• Why food elimination feels like the most logical first step when eczema or allergies show up and why it often becomes unsustainable. • How repeated restriction can quietly impact gut health, nutrient intake, and immune balance over time. • The difference between avoiding a true allergy and navigating food sensitivities with a longer-term plan. • What to focus on instead when your goal is calmer skin, fewer reactions, and a more resilient immune system.

Winter's grip on the markets is starting to loosen. Beef has turned higher sooner than expected, chicken keeps climbing, pork begins its spring setup, dairy shows signs of life, and grains remain frozen in place. This early shift may be subtle — but it could shape the market mood for the weeks ahead.BEEF: The post-holiday slide is officially over, and beef is turning back up sooner than expected. Middle meats are leading the shift, with the rest of the complex quietly following. Any values left may not stick around long.POULTRY: Chicken keeps climbing as strong demand meets steady production. With avian flu still present and prices already moving, this market looks set to stay on the offensive for a bit.GRAINS: Grains remain stuck in neutral, weighed down by plenty of supply and no clear catalyst. Until something changes, this market looks content to wait.PORK: The window for cheap bellies has closed, and bacon prices are setting up for a steady spring climb. Pork still offers value — but the direction is starting to shift.DAIRY: Butter finally found its footing, and dairy may be ready to turn the corner. Whether this is the start of a rebound or just a pause is the next story to watch.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

This episode's guests were speakers on the Joint ADSA-CSAS Breeding and Genetics Symposium:Dairy Welfare—Breeding and Management Strategies at the 2025 ADSA annual meeting. Jessica's talk was titled “Herd Sustainability Index: Using milk recording data to evaluate dairy herd sustainability.” This index provides a national percentile ranking benchmark for producers relative to sustainability from DHI data. The index evaluates ten indicators in four major categories: longevity and culling, feeding and production, heifers, and health. (2:51)Dr. Vasseur's talk was titled “Improving welfare through inclusive innovation: The story of WELL-E.” This inclusive innovation delivers data-driven solutions with and for the Canadian dairy industry by integrating stakeholder and domain knowledge with cutting-edge tools and methods of the improvement of animal and human welfare. (4:48)Dr. Vasseur talks about the development of the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, which was published in 2023. This most recent code of practice included recommendations and requirements for more opportunities for movement for dairy cattle, particularly those in tie stall environments. Dr. Vasseur's lab has conducted research in this area to help dairy producers with possible modifications of stalls and other recommendations to improve cow comfort. Jessica describes her master's research in tie stall modifications. The guests go on to talk about how often cows in tie stalls bump into their stall, some proof-on-concept research looking at doubling stall size, and recommendations for cow comfort improvements in existing tie stall operations. (6:53)Dr. Vasseur discusses the relationship between cow comfort and longevity. She also talks about the realities of converting a tie stall barn to a free stall barn. (20:12)Jessica describes the indicators used in the Herd Sustainability Index in more detail. A minimum of six tests in the last 12 months with 50% of the cows being recorded are needed to calculate the index for a farm. Seven of the ten HSI indicators are required for the index to be calculated. She goes on to explain how producers can see their index compared to the rest of Canada as well as historical change in their index, and details an incentive program for high-indexing and most-improved herds. (24:07)Dr. Vasseur talks about cow comfort and welfare comparisons among intensive dairy production countries. She envisions the development and implementation of technology to allow for more automation and reduced observer bias of processes such as lameness evaluation. (30:30)So what is WELL-E? Dr. Vasseur gives some background and details about bringing together animal scientists, computer scientists, and stakeholders to develop cutting-edge tools for the improvement of animal and human welfare. (33:24)Jessica talks about her PhD research in dairy cow behavior and pasture management. She conducted a study where pastures were mowed the morning of grazing compared to conventional grazing. Cows in the mowed pastures spent more time ruminating and drank more water, but no differences in milk production or milk components were observed. (38:02)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

New Dietary Guidelines for Americans are encouraging to dairy in ways that are consistent with the latest science and consumer needs for high-quality, affordable nutrition, NMPF Director of Regulatory Affairs Miquela Hanselman said in a Dairy Defined Podcast.“We turned out pretty well in the guidelines,” Hanselman said in the podcast released today. “We hit the three servings. Dairy is a distinct group. Full-fat dairy is recommended repeatedly throughout the guidelines, which everyone was very excited to see.”Hanselman also outlines how these guidelines came to be, and what work remains to be done in the next edition of the twice-a-decade guidelines.

Send us a textHow industrial farming, seed oils, soy, and pesticides impact food nutrition and health. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Soy's rise in farming: Originating from paint uses and wartime chemicals, soy became dominant due to subsidies and large-scale farming practices, but introduces high PUFAs, phytoestrogens, and pesticides into animal feeds.Feed's impact on eggs: Chicken feeds high in soy and corn raise linoleic acid levels in eggs compared to low-soy alternatives; low-PUFA eggs improve digestibility for many.PUFAs & health effects: Feeding PUFAs fattens animals faster and disrupts human gut lining and metabolism; body fat composition changes take time, linking to chronic issues like low energy.Phytoestrogens in soy: These compounds pass into animal products, affecting estrogen signaling and gut health; mainstream nutrition often overlooks their risks despite historical low exposure.Dairy variations: Raw milk retains lactoferrin for iron regulation and gut support, plus enzymes and probiotics destroyed in pasteurization; it may resolve dairy intolerances for some.Regenerative farming model: Armstrong's cooperative emphasizes traditional feeds to “resaturate” foods, reducing PUFAs; supports small farms amid declining farm numbers.Ancestral diets insight: Traditional diets vary but share low PUFA levels, avoiding modern chronic illnesses tied to industrial fats.ABOUT THE GUEST: Ashley Armstrong, PhD co-founded Angel Acres Farm in Michigan and now runs Nourish Food Club, a cooperative of small farms producing low-PUFA, soy-free animal foods.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 273: Nutrition Content of Animal & Plant Foods: Beef, Plant-Based Meat, Raw vs. Processed MilkSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

In this solo episode of The Moos Room, Brad shares “hot off the press” research on circadian rhythms in dairy cows and what long-term sensor data can tell us about cow welfare. Drawing from a study presented at the International Precision Dairy Farming Conference in New Zealand, the episode explores how daily and seasonal behavior patterns—such as eating, rumination, activity, and rest—are shaped by environment, management, and breed.Using more than 10 years of CowManager sensor data from the University of Minnesota research herd, Brad walks through how different breeds (Holsteins, crossbreds, graze-cross cows, and 1964 Holstein genetics) show distinct seasonal rhythms. Results revealed clear breed differences in eating time, rumination, overall activity, and inactivity, with graze-cross cows showing the strongest seasonal patterns and more stable alignment with environmental cues—suggesting better adaptability to pasture-based systems.The episode highlights how disruptions to circadian rhythms—caused by inconsistent lighting, feeding schedules, or confinement—may be linked to stress, immune suppression, lameness, mastitis, and reduced fertility. Brad discusses how precision dairy technologies offer a powerful, non-invasive way to monitor these rhythms and potentially detect welfare issues before clinical signs appear.The episode wraps up by looking ahead to future research linking behavior patterns directly to health and productivity outcomes, and how better alignment of management practices with natural cow rhythms could improve welfare and resilience on dairy farms.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

If you've already blown your New Year's goals… good. This episode is for you. Everyone starts the year talking about weight loss, better blood sugars, keto, fasting, vegan, carnivore, and most of it lasts about five days. Instead of doing another "New Year, new me" reset, I decided to actually test something I've talked about for years but never committed to. I went gluten-free and dairy-free - not for weight loss, not because it's trendy, but to see what would actually happen to my blood sugars, insulin resistance, inflammation, and body as someone living with diabetes. This isn't diet culture. This isn't perfection. And I'm definitely not saying everyone with diabetes should quit gluten and dairy forever. This episode will give you a grounded, real-world way to think about it! Want the best blood sugars you've ever had while enjoying great food?

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Adam Lock, professor of dairy nutrition in the Department of Animal Sciences at Michigan State University. This podcast is brought to you by the AABP Nutrition Committee. Soybeans and soybean meal products are an important source of protein and fat for dairy cow diets. Soybeans are typically 38-42% crude protein and 15-20% fat. The fat in conventional soybeans is 50-55% linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) which can suppress milk fat production if fed at high levels. Roasting soybeans is common on dairy farms to increase the amount of bypass protein (RUP).  High oleic fat soybeans have more recently been fed as a soybean source in dairy cattle diets. The primary advantage of these soybeans are that they have the same percentage of fat (20%) but the fatty acid profile is 75-80% oleic acid. Oleic acid does not directly suppress milk fat production since it is a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). This allows us to safely feed a higher energy diet to cows. Lock suggests that we can target high producing or early lactation cows with these soybeans to provide more energy. These beans can result in higher production, higher milk fat and may have positive effects on health and immunity.  Lock provides some general guidelines for incorporating high oleic acid soybeans in dairy cattle diets. They can be included at 8-12% of diet dry matter for roasted ground beans. Cows do not need a step-up period to incorporate these into the diet and an expected response should be seen in 7-10 days. Diets should be reformulated to account for this added fat and Lock states that many times other fat sources are removed, but some palm fats can be utilized with these beans for a better fat profile. Other protein sources, such as blood meal, can be adjusted.  Effects of increasing dietary inclusion of high oleic acid soybeans on milk production of high-producing dairy cowsA.M. Bales, A.L.

January is doing what it does best – pulling markets in opposite directions. Beef splits between falling middle meats and rising end cuts, chicken prices wake up, pork stays a value, grains soften, and dairy pushes into rare territory. These early-year moves may look quiet, but they're setting up what comes next. BEEF: The New Year split continues — middle meats are sliding while end cuts quietly climb. With Valentine's Day approaching and demand holding steady, this market is setting up for its next turn sooner than it looks.POULTRY: Chicken prices are officially on the move, led by breasts with wings and tenders following close behind. Add a slipping hatch rate and ongoing avian flu cases, and this value market may not stay cheap for long.GRAINS: Grain prices took another step lower as supply keeps growing faster than demand. Great news for feeders, but these markets are still searching for a spark.PORK: Pork remains one of the strongest values on the board, even as prices begin to inch higher. With steady production ahead, this quiet strength could be telling.DAIRY: Dairy keeps pushing lower into territory we haven't seen since the pandemic. Whether this creates short-term opportunity or signals something deeper is the question worth watching.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

In this solo “Emily Show” episode of The Moos Room, Emily takes a timely look at mastitis management during the winter months. While mastitis and high somatic cell counts are often associated with summer heat and humidity, Emily reminds listeners that cold weather brings its own risks and requires just as much attention to udder health.She begins by emphasizing the foundation of mastitis prevention: clean, dry bedding, cow comfort, and good ventilation. These basics reduce stress on cows and limit bacterial exposure, which is especially important when winter conditions can lead to damp or dirty housing.Emily then dives into winter-specific milking routine challenges, especially when cows are exposed to cold temperatures after milking. Wet teats are at much higher risk of frostbite, which can permanently damage teat ends and predispose cows to infections. While this makes some producers hesitant to use post-milking teat dip in cold weather, Emily strongly advises against skipping this crucial step. Instead, she shares a practical guideline: “Don't skip dip—but don't drip.” In other words, apply teat dip thoroughly, but avoid excessive dripping that can freeze. Letting cows stand for 20–30 seconds after dipping and wiping off excess dip before they go outside can provide protection against both mastitis and frostbite.She also discusses udder hair management, noting that long hair can trap teat dip, manure, and moisture. Options like singeing or clipping udders can help keep teats cleaner and drier, especially in winter.Finally, Emily highlights the role of nutrition in mastitis prevention. Cold stress increases a cow's energy needs, and inadequate nutrition can weaken immune function. Ensuring cows receive enough energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals helps support immune defenses and overall udder health. Working closely with a nutritionist during the winter is key.Emily wraps up by reminding listeners that even if mastitis seems less severe in winter than in summer, it still requires consistent attention year-round. With proper milking routines, clean housing, good nutrition, and smart winter management, producers can protect teat health and keep somatic cell counts in check all season long.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

In this week's Short Suck, we head back to the 1930s, when milk wasn't just one of many beverages  - it was survival, income, and power. As the Great Depression crushed farmers, workers, and cities alike, a perishable staple sparked riots, bombings, deadly shootings, and even Mafia involvement across the Midwest. This is the forgotten history of the Milk Wars,  when America went to war... over cow juice.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us a textHow agricultural practices influence the nutrient density of foods, particularly meat, and the importance of hidden compounds beyond standard nutrition labels.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Nutrient density profiling: Labs analyze thousands of compounds beyond macros and vitamins; this “dark matter” includes phytonutrients that may support health despite not being essential.Phytonutrients in foods: Plant secondary metabolites like polyphenols act as antioxidants and influence pathways like mTOR; animals convert plant compounds into bioactives humans access via meat.Red meat definition: Refers to meats high in myoglobin, including beef and lamb; most meats are red in wild forms, but human intervention affects color and classification.Ruminant animals: Animals like cows that have multi-chambered stomachs to digest plants; this metabolism differs from non-ruminants (e.g. chickens), affecting nutrient profiles in their meat.Grass-fed vs. grain-fed beef: Grass-fed has higher omega-3 fats and phytonutrients from diverse plants; studies show it improves human omega-6:3 ratios and biomarkers from grass-fed, pastured-raised animals.Farming practices & variations: Plant diversity boosts beef nutrients.Upcoming research: Long-term trials on effects of pasture-raised foods on human health; interactive dashboards for farmers to profile nutrients and inform policy.ABOUT THE GUEST: Stephan Van Vliet, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences at Utah State University, where he directs the Center for Human Nutrition Studies, focusing on linking food production systems to nutrient profiles and conducting clinical trials on health impacts.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

 "Stop reaching externally for answers because intuitively, if you really, really sit quietly with yourself and feel, you have all the answers for yourself." —Dr. Jennifer Haley   Our skin reacts long before we slow down enough to notice. Breakouts, inflammation, and chronic issues often point to patterns we normalize every day, from food choices to stress to environmental exposure. This conversation cuts through noise and shame and brings the focus back to what our bodies are already telling us.
