Vegetable oils cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes and more: Use these healthy alternatives instead
Tuesday, February 16, 2016 by: Sarah Landers
(NaturalNews) Vegetables oils have been heralded as a healthy alternative to using normal fat when cooking. However, it turns out that vegetable oils are not all they're cracked up to be when it comes down to it. We've all been told, even by government and medical associations, to use more vegetable seed and bean oils, such as soybean, corn, safflower and canola.
We're told that vegetable oils are safe to use as a heart-healthy alternative to cooking with traditional saturated fats. The argument has been that traditional fats such as butter, lard and coconut oil cause high cholesterol and clogged arteries, eventually leading to heart disease. So-called "experts" advised us to avoid saturated fats in favor of polyunsaturated fatty acids – in particular, omega-6 fats.

My grandparents' generation cooked and baked with lard. Lived to ripe old ages.
There's an Italian bakery near me. Family owned. Been around since the 1930s. Back in the day, it used lard to make the best Italian bread outside of Italy. The current generation of owners switched to vegetable oil or shortening. The bread is just not the same.

Lard is really tasty in refried beans!

Yep, just make sure it’s real lard and not blended with partially hydrogenated oils. The real deal is always better: lard, tallow, cold pressed olive. The more processed, the more harmful.

Yes. Research clean eating. Bacon grease is much better than processed oils.

I can remember my grandmother always saving goose fat too. I never understood why my friends never had goose fat on bread sprinkled with Paprika, they just had crap like mayonnaise or peanut butter.

Try bulletproof coffee. It’s my fave! Coffee blended with a touch of both coconut oil and butter.
