Butter and olive oil may not be perfect, but they are all I use.
Unfortunately if you buy products like mayonnaise and salad dressings they all have soy bean oil in them.
And animal fats.....I eat a lot of Pork, Chicken and Beef and have maintained a healthy weight of 150lbs for a decade after weighing over 200.
Lard is even more perfecter.
Same here.. We're (me and her) are a little "chunky", but we're not ugly or nothing.. :)
I always thought palm oil was the most used oil in the world... (?)
That's me too. And I always keep clarified butter on hand for cooking. Easy to make, and it takes high temperatures without smoking or burning.
“Butter and olive oil may not be perfect, but they are all I use.”
About 15 years ago my RN wife attended a common sense CME course re what to eat and what not eat.
Then, she asked their private practice patients, who were 80+ and still in good health what they cooked with. They replied butter, olive oil and wine for the food and the cook.
She, then, threw away anything that was not real like oleo and all of the various so called cooking oils.
Next, she got rid of any processed food in a box and most carbs.
It seems to have worked. She is now 81, and I will be 83 next month. I have outlived all of my male ancestors by 6+
years.
She has about 6 more years before she can make that claim. Many of her female ancestors made it to their late 80’s.

Me, but Avacado oil too.
That’s pretty much it for us, too. Heavier on the olive oil.
Same here, olive oil, coconut oil and butter. I have health issues that are exacerbated by most other oils: cottonseed, sunflower, canola, soybean, corn, etc. I eat minimal carbs, but I do enjoy Boulder Canyon Olive Oil chips.
