Science with Sarah (24:25)

One of the reasons we like bone broth is because of the bone health nutrients in it, and the nutrients that are important for bone health are also important for connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, teeth

Sarah discussed the beneficial minerals and vitamins that are found in broth

There are also essential fatty acids found in broth

One of the reasons why bone broth is so great for bone health is because you are dissolving the elements that bones are made of and consuming them in a liquid form

In addition to the vitamins and minerals that you are consuming, you are also getting in a great source of collagen

Bone broth is considered offal

Recipes for bone broth are carefully created to assist in the bone mineralization process, both from a cook time and ingredient list stand point

When Sarah is making broth she knows it is ready to cool when the bones crumble in her fingers

Lots of people reuse these leftover softened bones

Both Eat Like a Dinosaur and Beyond Bacon provide recipes for broth

And The Paleo Approach Cookbook will also provide a broth recipe

Questions and Answers (35:20)

Ingrid - which animal provides the most nutrient dense broth?

Stacy knows that animals with joints provide the most collagen

Ideal broth should look like jello when cool and make your lips sticky when warm

Stacy recommends using feet, necks, ox tails, or knuckle to make broth

Sarah explained that fish heads and bones provide quite a bit of nutrients

Grass-fed beef and fish will be your best options

Sarah shared on the nutrients present in chicken broth and to be sure to skim the fat off the top to minimize your omega-6 intake

Stacy and Sarah shared their opinions on chicken intake and how to balance your omega-3 and omega-6 ratios

At the end of the day, all broths are good choices and will provide you with a variety of nutrients

(45:21) Nicole - should bone broth smell bad while cooking? what are you thoughts on buying broth online?

When Matt and Stacy first made broth the smell bothered them, but now Stacy enjoys the smell

Stacy suggests making the broth outdoors if you have the option to do so

Matt and Stacy have never purchased broth online, but US Wellness Meats, Tropical Traditions and Bare Bones Broth are all great options

Stacy also suggests that you check with your local farmers to see if they sell broth

(51:20) Janice - how to handle digestive issues from the grease?

After skimming the grease off the top, add carbs to the soup

Check Stacy's Soup recipe here for details on how Matt adds vegetables to the soup to ease the digestion process for Stacy

(53:58) Kayla - is it safe to use the bones from deer? is it safe to consume organ meat from deer?

Stacy feels that it is safe to use any and all parts from the deer, just make sure that organs are thoroughly cooked through

Sarah shared information on organ meat from wild animals and what to be aware of when preparing offal from herbivores

(1:00:04) Gayle - looking for information on marrow

Sarah shared on the stem cells in marrow and what they do

Marrow is naturally fatty and it is naturally very rich in amino acids not found in muscle meat

It is more similar to collagen

It is one of the healthiest things you can eat because of the fundamental role it plays in the body

There is no badness

Stacy shared on how she eats marrow since she doesn't have a gallbladder

Stacy's autoimmune condition is greatly impacted in a beneficial way by the consumption of broth, which is why she is such a big advocate of it

Both Sarah' and Stacy's sites and books provide a number of recipes that utilize broth outside of soups, so be sure to check those out and to think of broth outside of the mug

Thanks everyone! We will be back next week!
