Look at the label on the package. Most commercially sold lard is partially hydrogenated--means it has trans-fats.Quote:

Can't be worse than they other cheap oils.....
edit: this is designed for popping pop corn in movie theaters. Coconut oil is what they use to get that "movie theater" taste...
Ok, I've found some more coconut oil. 5 gallons of organic coconut oil for $65:

"This oil is sourced from a certified organic producer. It's also "food grade" quality so it can be used as an excellent frying or cooking oil, however, it does not smell nor taste like coconuts."
what is the self life of coconut oil?
For high quality extra virgin oil, its supposed to be indefinite. For the stuff I posted above, its supposed to be 1.5 years or something.Quote:

Isn't all coconut oil organic? I mean who fertilizes/sprays coconut palm trees??
di·meth·yl pol·y·si·lox·ane (d-mthl pl-s-lksn)
n.
A polymer composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms and having two methyl groups attached; it can, depending on molecular weight, have properties ranging from oils to plastics.
But is it bad to use?Quote:

I don't trust anything the WHO has to say.

yes I gave up on hyrodgenated ?? vegetable fats more than a decade ago. Only use animal fats and olive oil, although I don't use olive oil in cooking very often, usually a dressing.
I think that story said something bad about sunflower oil which is one I use occasionally. Peanut oil.... any info on Peanut oil. I like using that for stir frying some things.
Oils are chelators (??). They are like the garbage man for the body. Going around and getting trash from the blood and organs stuck to it, penetrating membranes, attracting rubbish in the membrane protected areas and then carrying those toxins through the barriers safely so they can be expelled.
You know when the Government tells you for 30 years or more that the bad oils are good for you and the good oils are bad for you, they don't have your best interest at heart.
For people who doubt the health value of oils, I point people back to Cod Liver oil. Old wives tale but given to people who were ill at ease, not quite feeling right. It helped purge what ever was causing the problem.
For Stir Frying, peanut oil probably is good. The graphic I posted looks like most oils are reasonably safe in the first 10 minutes.

Oil begins to decompose at its smoke point and this breakdown creates acreolein, a foul-smelling compound. Vegetable oils like peanut oil have higher smoke points than animal fat. Polyunsaturated oils like soy, canola, sunflower, and corn oil degrade more easily than peanut oil at high temperatures.
Good Fats in Peanut Oil
Peanut oil is a healthy alternative to other types of oils. Peanut oil, like other types of vegetable oils, is low in saturated fat and is free of cholesterol and trans fat. Like olive oil, peanut oil is high in monounsaturated fat, which can reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease when eaten as a replacement for unsaturated fats.

Yep, lard. My grandma made her own lard. She also made soap with lard and water drippped through juniper ashes.Quote:
