American Heart Association recently included emu meat
in its listing of heart-healthy meats, said Williams,
and Barry Sears, internationally-known author of The
Zone recently included emu meat in his diet recommendations.
So, we were hopeful that emu would be a positive in
this study. What we didn't anticipate was emu meat's
nutritional values when compared to other meats. |
