For decades we were told margaine and plant based shortening (like Crisco) was better for you.

Then we found out they were full of trans-fats, they one (and only) fat everyone agrees actually causes heart disease.

Now we're finding out these franken-oils made from beans and seeds using chemical to extract and reformulate the oils cause other problems.

They make big money for the companies producing them, but maybe the rest of us should wise up and go back to the oils and fats people have been using for thousands of years without any problems.

Maybe it's some of the GMO food... I think they make so it will last longer on the grocery shelf, and the bugs won't eat it.. If the bugs won't eat it, maybe we shouldn't as well..

Lard is best IMO.

Non-hydrogenated coconut oil is OK also.

Cold-pressed olive oil is nice...

Cottonseed oil is nasty.

Hey, this is out of California, where EVERYTHING is cancer causing, a pollutant, or if genetically altered is bad! In CA even water and air,or just waking up in the morning, are unhealthy. You’re in danger from the moment of conception.

"The mechanics of college also make it difficult to form deep friendships; college students are largely solitary, with no concept of classes, taking whatever class they choose and going their separate ways the next semester. Good housing conditions isolate people, as does college and as does society. Americans live alone for long periods of time, so that they often have an introverted and passive mentality, not knowing if they should deal with a stranger."

One aspect of liberals (who likely come from small families) overall seems to be an inordinate avoidance of interacting with strangers, if not to protesting the latest perceived major injustice.

Soy produces blood clots in my body. It is very difficult to find ANYTHING without soy. Soy lecithin is in such tiny amounts that it doesn’t bother me, but I read ALL labels and make my own salad oils, etc. Soybean oil had never been in my cabinet...and I’ve been stating for years and decades that we should NOT be giving newborns soy milk products. It is directly associated with early onset periods in young girls since it acts as estrogen, and for boys...why would we feed an estrogen replacement to newborn boys? And we wonder where the gender confusion comes from...?

The only safe oil to consume is olive oil and walnut oil.

All the rest is poison.

Especially every seed oil.

Poison.

I buy lovely organic olive oil and my supermarket and beautiful butter from pasture-raised cows. A little more $, but worth it. Since I do not eat bread, I use very little butter, a little on potatoes and in pan cooking omelets. (Pasture-raised eggs too)

Nothing is more important than your health.

Crisco was originally made to lubricate submarines. Yuck.

My fat of choice is butter.

This is just anecdote-but I have observed two thing about the longest living people I have known.

1. They never jogged as exercise in their life.
2. They never worried about what they ate, or were ever on ant type of medical diet.

The so-called medical professionals would say , it must be because of their genes....Really??-Tom .

Soy also produces estrogens in the body and is a danger for males in particular. Moobs, thyroid problems and other soy-boi issues.

Not long ago I was in Chicago where I stayed there was a vending machine. It had Old Fashioned Donuts so I immediately scoffed. I bit into the donut and I approached Heaven on Earth.

Fried in lard and chocolate frosting made with chocolate, sugar and lard. Now I know that this is also a healthy or healthier choice. 😏😏
