A member asked:

Have you ever heard of bison meat being more nutritious and less fattening that regular meat you get from a cow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Hi. Yes, I've read that. As you may know, dietary cholesterol isn't that important in blood levels, but I do think good, lean buffalo meat is probably an excellent source of protein. To your good health!
