RE: ‘CHOLESTEROL CON’ ‘No evidence’ high levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol cause heart disease, doctors claim
I think a discussion of whether lard or Crisco is better for you overlooks the fact that probably neither should be a significant component of your diet. Crisco used to have a lot of transfats and those are certainly not good for anyone.
Lots of saturated fats are healthy (still on a low calorie intake) - I've been on high fat diet for 4 years - weight loss, healthier all around, (BP), sleep better, and never ill...
There is nothing good about vegetable oils except olive and coconut oil (high saturated fats)
the entire culture of vegetable oils cam e from the Crisco marketing campaign and big money..
Previously throughout history - our fat intake had been sats.
As I wrote initially - common sense logic dictates - every single cell in our body is surrounded by saturated fats...
Ergo - saturated fats area a good idea...? They work with us, not against us..
non sats line your cells and cause inflammation..
..and since changing my diet, all my food tastes fantastic !
I have been eating mostly butter as an oil for the last 5 years or so and I was recently diagnosed as having a fatty liver so I am adding in some olive oil. I wouldn't really consider using anything but butter or olive oil anyhow.
The most slim I have been as an adult was when I was eating mostly the worst frozen pizzas and little Debbie cream pies
