I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Aldi. I believe it is 100% olive oil.Crack on. Lard is awesome. Personally I use duck fat and butter for cooking. Sometimes olive oil but not usually for high heats. The problem with olive oil is that you never really know the purity, and apparently it’s often cut with nasty seed oils. I use organic coconut oil in spicy Asian style cooking and also sometimes just spoon some in my gob if I’m feeling greedy
A few years ago my ex wife ran a second hand market stall. Aluminium pans were always popular. We kept some for ourselves at the time.Tipetoo, you may be just fine. I was surprised...

Big thank you for this well worth the time learnt a lotThis weekend I listened to Ivor Cummins, The Fat Emperor, interview Tucker Goodrich on how omega-6 rich “vegetable oils” also known as “industrial seed oils” – (soybean, safflower, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, rapeseed (canola), peanut) – are ruining our health. Note: There’s a link to the transcript in the notes below the video.
All I can say is wow. Listened to it three times on my phone while walking this weekend. I already knew these oils were damaging, but was shocked to learn how many health problems are associated with them: asthma, autoimmune disease, depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, dementia, diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, IBS, IBD, inflammation, infertility, macular degeneration, and osteoarthritis.
During the first half hour, Tucker describes how he restored his health after experiencing years of diarrhea, an undiagnosed gluten intolerance, diverticular disease, and a stroke in his late 30’s. He’d heard that industrial seed oils were bad for our health. After having part of his colon removed, he wanted to understand why.
In this interview, he overviews the recent introduction of the first seed oil, cottonseed oil, into the American diet in the late 1800’s, the introduction of the seed oils that followed beginning in the early 1900’s, and a comprehensive review of research findings to date on industrial seed oils. I hope you’ll be able to find the time to listen. Afterward, I encourage you to share these important links with your family and friends. We need to get the word out.

In this article, Chris Kresser specifically discusses the role seed oils play in the above listed health problems, then shares steps you can take to avoid them and the six oils you should be cooking with.

After listening to interviews, I always read the comment section. There I gleaned a link to this 2019 article. I was shocked. These researchers found that 88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Only 36.7% of men and 48.6% of women have a fasting glucose below 100 mg/dl and an HbA1c less than 5.7% - (this is the low range for pre-diabetes in the US). We’ve got to turn this around…

We buy it because it's cheap, and it all helps us streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch our pensions further.Canola oil is heavily marketed to health-conscious consumers. And I've observed over the years that some forum members here use it.
Exactly. Sometimes this has to be done. Agreed.We buy it because it's cheap, and it all helps us streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch our pensions further.

What do people think about using lard?
I would be very happy to use it if I had some clue as to sourcing. I am a bit fussy about meat and like to know exactly where it comes from and how it's raised to the point where I only really buy locally raised animals and have deliberately been to the farms to satisfy myself.
My butcher is very good and also has a close relationship with the farms rather than using a wholesaler. I suppose I should ask him really, but in principal at least lard is OK?
