After watching that video of RFK Jr explaining how fast food restaurants used to cook fries in beef tallow but then switched to oils, I decided to give it a shot. I used to always use vegetable oil for the fries or a little butter to grill the burgers on a griddle. This time I finally caved in and bought a few gallons of beef tallow. Hoo boy, was it amazing. I'm NEVER going back to vegetable oil, I'll only cook fries in tallow from here on out. The burgers were also the best I've ever made.
I wonder, what are the health benefits of tallow? 🤔
It's my other longer post in this thread. I'll copy it here: "I'm in the middle of reading this book, which explains in great detail why vegetable oils are awful and butter (only grassfed) tallow, lard, olive and other fats and oils are good. You can read it for free if you have Kindle Unlimited. Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food Kindle Edition by Catherine Shanahan Here's a page from her website listing good and bad fats (PUFA is her shorthand for polyunsaturated fats) https://drcate.com/list-of-good-fats-and-oils-versus-bad/ There's some other good info, start with most popular posts"
She takes a firmer stand on the butter in her book than on her website. The book is extremely detailed and I have plowed through pages that have no relevance to me at all such as concerns about having healthy, pretty babies. I'm a bit past that. So you might want to skip around a bit. Unless you're planning future babies.
Cheers, I'll take a look! And having another pretty, healthy baby is definitely in the realm of possibility for me.
That's great! Love those babies! LOTS of very good info on that. She has a background in genetics as well as being a medical doctor. What she says about being able to change your DNA is extremely interesting. She also says mothers AND fathers should wait 3 minimum 4 years between children and that first children are healthier, prettier than other babies. It has to do with having maximum nutrition going into the DNA you're giving your child. It's funny, I have one cousin who is stunningly, movie star beautiful and her younger sister is downright homely. And lots about mothers keeping their health up during pregnancy and why.
