yes i think it runs like 10 percentI make a beef tallow balm and use it on my face and body... Is Beef tallow low PUFA and Peat approved?

Ray does say that ruminant animals fed pufa will convert it to saturated fat.
Grain fed, sedentary (i.e. raised in captivity, confined spaces etc) ruminant animals have a far far higher PUFA content in their fat stores than outdoors, free range, grass and plant eating animals.
I seem to remember Ray saying that there is vitamin E in grasses, so maybe that could help with saturating PUFAs.Isn't all the fat in grass PUFA? Why do cows have a much higher SFA ratio when eating grass as opposed to grains or whatever else?
This is simply not true. Grain fed, sedentary (i.e. raised in captivity, confined spaces etc) ruminant animals have a far far higher PUFA content in their fat stores than outdoors, free range, grass and plant eating animals. This is well known. Further, when animals raised in captivity/indoors eating grains/soy etc breed and breed, the inclination for high PUFA content in their fat passes down. They essentially become very sick animals that store fat quickly and are killed young, toxins stored in the fat. Wagyu cows are a perfect example of this, very high in PUFA and omega 3. Not wise to be slathering beef tallow over your face and body daily. There are many studies showing how the transdermal application of fats can alter our own fat store composition, haidut has posted are few. Stick with coconut oil/MCT oil, far safer and far better for a myriad of reasons.
Then why would grass-fed beef be preferable to grain fed?Actually, it is true. Ruminant animals convert carbohydrates into fatty acids in their stomachs via the gut flora. The only fatty acids produced by their gut bacteria are saturated and monounsaturated. It doesn't matter what kind of grain they eat. Most grains are so low in fat that the little polyunsaturated fat they consume is negligible.
From my understanding grass fed is more important when it comes to the fat component but there isn’t much difference between grass fed and grain fed in the muscle meat itself. The fat has the fat soluble vitamins which are a bit better in grass fed beef and since toxins accumulate in fat grass fed animals should be a better choice from a potential toxin standpoint. I certainly doesn’t seem like the fatty acid profile is dramatically different between grass v grain fed.Then why would grass-fed beef be preferable to grain fed?
Interesting. Since I changed cooking with sunflower oil to tallow a year go I have many pufa depletion effects. What I take is a fat chunks which i melt it to tallow. The store is 'conventional'. Im sure they are grain fed animals they sell products of.Grass fed beef is actually lower in saturated fat compared to grain fed beef!
It also has higher omgea3 fatty acid content.
Interesting. You could also look up the melting point of beef tallow. Heat it up to a few degrees before that point and discard the oil that melts.Interesting.

The few times i ate pufa cooked stuff this year I felt bad immediately. Now for Christmass I ate quite a few pufa stuff and it is the third day I have energy only to lay in bed and sofas.....
Ok I will research further, cause what I've done is to collect the melted oil, not discard it. Another thing is that first time I made beef tallow the result was very solid white tallow. And the second time was during the summer and the tallow in the jars remained brown after the cooling, and it is not as solid. So it is either very high pufa or I've heat it much more than needed and it has oxidised.Heat it up to a few degrees before that point and discard the oil that melts.
The melted oil will be mostly PUFA/MUFA .
