    The 'Saving Australia' Diet

    Thanks for that. Will keep an eye on Sunday Night now. Did anyone watch Michael Mosely on monday on sbs. Loved the facts about fat and oils with high heat, then with cooking food stuff. Aldehydes sure show up in all those supposed good oils. Glad that I can continue to cook with good old butter

    The 'Saving Australia' Diet

    Did not watch it either. Don't really watch channel 7. Agree that Sunday Night is one of the sensationalist variety. OH did want to watch it as Dr Michael Mosely was one of those involved in the program
