My dad was a farmer for forty plus years. Toward the end of that time government gave him money to farm canola. It's disgusting. It's rotting by the time they harvest it and it smells like garbage.
Wow! Sounds pretty disgusting. Noses are good for finding out what to eat. Of course after they treat it and put in a bottle it doesn’t smell, so this makes it difficult for people to discern.
The chart is very helpful. It's in the post. It will tell you about which oil are high in LA versus low. I hope you check it out! Helpful for inflammation!
When I went to a Keto way of eating we switched from canola oil to avocado oil since the heating level was still high for avocado. But now I see with this chart we only reduced our exposure by 9%. I do use coconut oil, tallow and butter, even left over bacon grease. I think I’ll make an effort to start using a touch of coconut oil and then butter or tallow hoping the coconut oil will keep the butter from burning. At the very least I can use a tsp of avocado oil to allow a higher heat level but make the remainder 1-2T be the butter. I appreciate this chart. Thank you!
Have a look at the post because I put a chart in there and it shows you which cooking oil is high in LA and which are lower in LA and it really depends on if you have inflammation because if you have inflammation then you'll definitely want to try to eliminate the LA type oils and just see if that makes a difference for you but of course there's more than just the seed oils that contribute to inflammation. I do believe Lard is in the chart and it looks like there is a little bit about la in the lard but it is much better than the seed oils..
I grew up climbing to top shelves of my grandmother’s pantry on a lard stand. Grandparents were pretty healthy and now I’m eyeing that lard at the grocery store. (Of course there were her fabulous yeast rolls that had Crisco in them, but…)
I remember when my folks used to eat margarine, and bring their leftovers for lunch at work to microwave in the empty margarine containers! They’re fairly healthy in their 70s. It’s about the butter, coconut & olive oil now.

Good chart for information! Thank you for including it. According to it, we ate eating healthy!
Awesome. Thanks for your comment. I found the chart on Facebook. I don't think it is fact checked yet. :)
I find canola oil is disgusting. My preference would butter and olive oil. But are they ever expensive now.

You're welcome! I use alot of bacon grease. Avocado oil to make mayonnaise. 🙂
Renee, does that mean we can use lard from pork meat?
Renee,
When my dad was young they used a lot of pork lard to cook. Is it okay to cook with that?
I hope so, cause it makes food taste so delicious!!

Very informative 😊
Got rid of all my seed oils.

A. LOVE your title and subtitle! 😁
B. A GREAT article with so much helpful health info...and confirmation of present practices.
Thank you, Renee!
Thanks Monica, I am so happy that you enjoyed it!
