Bison is Better for You
Years ago, many Native Americans and frontiersman lived predominately on buffalo. These people had endurance, agility and stamina that modern folk find hard to believe.

Nutrition Facts
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University has shown that the meat from bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids in its caloric value. Comparisons (comparison chart) to other meat sources have also shown that bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being.

South Dakota State University's Nutrition and Food Science Department, in a study of bison meat developed by Dr. Wayne Johnson and Dr. Elizabeth Rust conducted with the assistance of Dorothy Dirthordt and Louise Guild, found that bison meat, with about 10mg. of cholesterol per ounce of lean tissue, can be safely used in moderation in most low cholesterol diets. Dr. Rust found that bison meat has a higher concentration of essential amino acids. It has more unsaturated fatty acids and less cholesterol.
