Been switching over to tallow products since the fall off of avocado oil. But I was curious; is it true that not all beef tallow is made the same? Like some are bad/some are good?

An example of “bad”, Buffalo Wild Wings uses Tallow but it has harmful preservatives and anti caking in it. (I’m pretty much answering my own question here lol)

If so, any recommendations on how to find the “good stuff”? How can we be sure “Masa” chips use “good” tallow?

Recently I've been getting into being more fit ( I've been going to the gym for about 1 and half months) and I've been trying to also adjust my diet. For reference I'm 20 yrs and 1'43cm and weight about 70 kgs. I have a friend that told me all sorts of stuff about how vegetables and seed oils are the bottom line because they have toxins and anti-nutrients in them or too much of one vitamin which ,to me, sounded legit, but I'm asking myself...I've been eating a balance between meat and vegetables all my life and had no health issues whatsoever. LIKE EVER. Sure, I'm overweight but it didn't affect my health at all. I have normal periods, my bloodwork is CLEAN, no imbalances whatsoever. I can walk long distances without being out of breathe and I can jog for 30 minutes (which is tough but c'mon it's fkn cardio). WHY is he SWEARING that vegetables are so bad when everyone I've known has eaten them all their lives and have no health issues and why does it all lead back to hormonal imbalances. I can't have a single take on any of this because his argument is always something along the lines of "you're a woman, it's different"........Is there such a huge difference?

I have a feeling that this vegetable thing has a lot to do with young male teens being insecure about not being manly enough and wanting to get every dose of testo they can get. If that means cutting off their favorite snack or having to put an osmosis filter to avoid the smallest amount of estrogen that's apparently in tab water (women take birth control that includes estroge, women pee out the estrogen, estrogen doesnt get filtered by the sewage treatment plant, estrogen remains in tab water...........DID I MENTION THAT THAT'S SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT THAT I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WOULD AFFECT A MANS TESTO LEVELS) they will go out of their way of doing so.
They sort of fall into an eating disorder and come out with "outrageous" facts, that sound smart and legit........but are they REALLY????

I really need some enlightenment. Also first post on reddit, kinda nervous....Hello internet :>

Quisiera saber qué aceites de cocina son mejores desde su punto de vista, no conozco mucho del tema

I’m hearing this from some friends? Seems that they were the anti-VAX. Any info would be appreciated.

Seed oil on a canvas is oxidising. That is oil paint, and it is why the Rembrandt is still there.

Seed oil on a pile of rags is oxidising. That is why the shed burns down without anybody striking a match.

Seed oil pressed into a floor is oxidising. That is linoleum, and the name is literally linseed oil.

Seed oil in varnish, putty and printing ink is oxidising. That is the entire reason anybody ever bought it.

Four industrial applications, all of them chosen because the substance hardens on contact with air and will not stop.

Then somebody put it in a bottle and walked it over to the food aisle.

Seed oil in the pan at 180 degrees is oxidising. You would expect that.

Seed oil in the same pan tomorrow is oxidising into yesterday's oxidation. Layers.

Seed oil in a sealed bottle in a dark cupboard is oxidising. Nothing is happening to it. That is the point.

Seed oil under the shop lights is oxidising before you have paid for it. You are buying a partly finished reaction.

Seed oil in a nitrogen-flushed drum with TBHQ stirred in expressly to stop this is oxidising. They tried. It went anyway.

Nothing has to happen to it. Linoleic acid has two double bonds, alpha-linolenic has three, and every one leaves a hydrogen held so loosely that oxygen takes it at room temperature and starts a chain reaction that feeds itself. One goes, then it goes for its neighbour, like a bloke in a pub.

So the obvious next step for a material like that is to build a human being out of it.

Seed oil in your cell membranes is oxidising. Forty trillion cells, each one held in by a double sheet of floor covering.

Seed oil in your mitochondria is oxidising. Those are the bits handling oxygen all day, which seems like an unfortunate posting.

Seed oil in your brain is oxidising. Sixty per cent fat by dry weight, held at 37 degrees, taking a fifth of your oxygen. A warm dark cupboard with a permanent air supply and no best-before date.

Linoleic acid has a half-life in human tissue of about two years, so the bottle you bought in 2024 is still in the building, doing what it does on canvases, floors and sheds, only slower and inside you.

American body fat was about nine per cent linoleic acid a century ago. It is now around twenty-one.

They rewrote the tissue composition of an entire population using a drying oil, and got a thank you card from the heart charity for it.

A fortune was spent on dark glass, nitrogen and synthetic antioxidants to hold this stuff stable for a four hundred mile lorry journey.

Nobody has ever mentioned what holds it stable for forty years inside a person.

Meanwhile butter came out of an Irish peat bog after two thousand years and was still butter, because saturated fat has no double bonds and there is nothing there for oxygen to get hold of.

That one is the dangerous one.

That one you want to keep an eye on.

I quit seed oils for almost two years. Only home cooked meals and the past 2-3 months I’ve been eating out with friends and consuming seed oils maybe once or twice a week. My face has broken out I assume from consuming low quality foods. I have enjoyed eating out and being social and eating with my friends. I’m stressed as I’ve done almost two years no seed oils and worried I’ve just 180 the other direction and ruined my efforts and worried going down a bad path again. Anyone have suggestions on what to do?

Looking for a one-ingredient whey protein powder without any emulsifiers. Are there any on the market?

Americans are consuming about 45% more butter than they did 20 years ago. It was 4.7 pounds per person then and has reached a record 6.8 pounds today. The USDA also reported last week that butter production was up 8.5% year over year.
