Polyunsaturated Fats contain those "good" Essential Fatty Acids(EFA) that our bodies can not make, but must receive from our food. Essential Fatty Acids are known to improve disease resistance & overall health, nourish the brain, & may reduce cholestreol.
"For consumers concerned about the healthfulness of the lipids (fats) they consume, the Piedmontese 2-copy genotype produced the leanest product with lipids that were composed of the most beneficial fatty acid profile of the geno compared."

PIEDMONTESE BEEF
Quality Beef
For
Today's Healthful
Lifestyle
TRADITION
and
EXCELLENCE
These unique cattle have evolved over centuries in a pure
environment and are, today, a truly efficient animal genetically
designed to produce low-fat, tender beef.
The Piedmontese is the only cattle breed known to carry a specific
gene that consistently reduces fat and increases tenderness in the
beef. A true fullblood Piedmontese animal will carry 2 copies of
this gene, while a crossbred may carry 1 copy of the gene. Here in
North America, the Piedmontese influence gives us a choice in our
beef fat content levels.
1-copy Piedmontese Beef will be significantly leaner than traditional
beef, while the 2-copy Piedmontese Beef will be ultra-lean.
