Nina Teicholz Puzzles Fats!…excellent publication Big Fat Surprise 9 years in the making! Prior last century, cooking used tallow (cows), lard (pigs). Now butter (cows) becoming acceptable, but organic and grass fed if possible!…Trans fats started 1911 with Proctor & Gamble’s ‘Crisco’ hardened vegetable oil…. in essence hydrogenated fat…birth margarine. 1940 s discovery turning hydrogenated vegetable oils into liquids…done with fatty acid structure ‘meddling’! This was BIRTH liquid vegetable oils!..starting Canola and Wesson. Today includes includes Peanut, Corn, Sunflower, and Soy, all polyunsaturated(PUFAs) fatty acids...but also note: may have GE and Glyphosate issues!.

Trans fats are slightly different creatures, & finally recognized bureaucratically as dangerous… interfering with basic cellular function.
However the Trans fats outlawing seems for wrong reasons, associated to Cholesterol and LDLs…however the resulting compulsory warning advice and labeling has driven their death knell!…BUT now restaurants have reverted big time to the ‘new’ vegetable oils! These unfortunately massively and dangerously degrade with the heat from cooking, results production damaging oxidative aldehydes…maybe even worse than Trans Fats! Classic Metabolic Syndrome consequences…all the bad diseases including cancer.
ALSO vegetable oils seem potentially causative neuro-degeneration…means for me ‘yellow card’ respecting Dementia & Alzheimer’s.
