Maybe it makes more health sense to use corn or soy oils for that big turkey frying project

WRONG!

Unless you don't think there's anything wrong with GMO laced foods - you don't mind eating Monsanto's Frankenfoods? That goes for Rape seed oil too (Canola). Most all of US corn, soy ad Canola are grown with GMO's - and now they are reaching for alfalfa.

Grape seed oil, coconut oil are excellent for cooking AND heath. They also have a higher burn point. Real butter - organic (without growth hormones, antibiotics, etc) is far better than other spreads...and ghee (rendered butter) is even better.

Lard is a VERY healthy fat but hard to get healthy lard.

Hormels is about the only company that still makes it but it has been hydrogenated. You need to render your own from organic fat back.

Also, research "homocysteine" in relation to the heart. Homocycteine causes inflammations - the real culprit in heart disease.

The very inexpensive folate acid pills are touted to keep it in check.

WE are fortunate today. We have the Internet for research. We no longer have to take as gospel whatever we're told.

“Homocycteine causes inflammations’

Not exactly. Like saying pepsin causes heart burn. They are links in the biochemical chain. The thing that causes inflammation is poor eating.

Is the Franken in the foods supposed to make any difference in the kind of oil they put out? Until somebody shows that, I’ll eat Frankencorn oil as soon as normal corn oil.

Yup and any fool can put up a web page. Old fashioned processes of determining who's believable and who's dancing with their pants on fire can not be avoided.

I certainly don't. Genetically modified crops are key to feeding the world, both now and in the future. The crops can also be engineered to provide better nutrition and other health benefits. There's no need to use scare language about a technology which already makes it possible to feed millions who might otherwise starve.

There may be something to the GMO hysteria. After all, wheat has been so modified and hybridized beyond what grandma used to bake her bread that it has basically become a noxious weed, even though it still tastes good.

Does anyone know of any real benefits of coconut oil. I am starting to hear that as a supplement it can be good to ward off alzheimers/dementia, aid in heart health and other “miracles.” Fact or fiction?
