Also, the high frying temperatures change the seed oils used into plastics................

Boiled and baked are not okay, at least if you want to avoid blood sugar spikes. Of course the seed oils in french fries are absolutely horrible.

These observational studies are pure bullshit.

Did you know that using a remote garage door opener is associated with a 20% increase in longevity? I guaranty it is. At least that. Because almost every person with a remote garage door is white, middle class or better, suburban and mostly not East Coast or any urban ghettos.

So F****** what.

Three glasses of red wine per week but not more that 6 reduces heart problems by 20%. I wonder why . . .

True that.
Same with setting a “non-stick” surface on your cast iron and carbon steel cookware.

I've been trying something new - not new is that I pre-bake a lot of potatoes so I can use them in different ways.

The new thing is to cut 1/4 inch thick "potato chips" and bake them about 12 minutes, flip and bake again. Salt and paprika. I like 'em.

Beef tallow is good, but try duck fat too- really good. Can get it from Amazon, Walmart, grocery stores. Can cook fries, hash browns, chunk crisps, waffle potatoes, etc in the oil. Tip, strain the oil after and refrigerate and use again for a few times

So with this bad press coming out about seed oils (Cotton seed, corn, soybean, canola, flaxseed, cocoanut, safflower, sunflower) does this mean that butter was maybe NOT so bad?

You cannot imagine today the barrage of “butter is bad” propaganda back in the 1940’s, when oleomargarine was first introduced. Seems that old adage (the perfect is the enemy of the good) was getting worked overtime.

I'm treated at the world's finest...and most famous...diabetes care and research center (in Boston). It's been explained to me in great detail that weight is the single most important factor in type 2 diabetes. Not the only factor...but the most important. In fact they keep telling me that I should lose a good amount of weight despite the fact that I'm 5' 11" and 190 pounds (I've been much more than that in the past).

Just sayin'...

Seed oils become plastics when heated to high temps..................

You can see the sticky build up on cookie sheets and other items subjected to high heat. It’s very hard to remove - not so much with lard. I use lard when baking bread. It can’t be beat for developing the gluten.

“”It’s apparently the ‘frying’ that causes the damage. Boiled and baked are okay..................probaly the seed oils used in today’s world. LARD would be best...............””

Well, the scientists and experts (”food fascists”) have already destroyed the taste of potato chips (tastes like cardboard now) and popcorn butter via their ‘anti-trans fats campaign’. If only they would leave well enough alone and rely on people to use self-control. But noooo... they have to ruin it for everyone. Setting things up for their iron-fisted grip on our short hairs by controlling what everyone “else” is allowed to eat.

I remember a study that came out in the late 70’s or early 80’s that said people were better drivers after ONE drink.

These types of pieces are with reading only for what they fail to discuss. Eating French fries just three times a week - Fried in what kind of fat? Seed oil? Tallow? How old is the oil, i.e. how much heat exposure breaking the oil down into cytotoxic and inflammatory causing aldehydes?

Who paid for this piece? Trade Group that will profit from decreased sales of fries? a USAID NGO?

I eat potatoes every day including fish & chips every Friday at Southern kitchen restaurant and they serve generous load of seasoned French fries. At home I microwave potato 90%, then peel it, chop up in small pieces and pan fry them with olive oil until brown.
At age 85 no diabetes, weight 158 lbs on 5’ 8” frame. It is not potatoes causing diabetes with me as prime example. It is lack of daily aerobic exercise and over-eating to blame.
