    I used peanut oil for frying fish because I like the way the fish tastes. I don't like other oils. I fry a turkey once a year in peanut oil. #1 wife uses olive oil for cooking but I think she uses corn oil for baking... That happens a lot less often than I'd like...

    I probably eat too much sugar but it's in fruit. We try to eat foods that look like what they are. Very little comes out of a box or can. Water is the beverage of choice although I will drink a few gatorades on extremely hot sweat days...

    I do have a weakness for cinnamon graham crackers.

    Oh, and butter. I get the Land O Lakes because I like(d) the Indian gal on the box!

    Mostly, I eat what I like and don't eat what I don't like. Fortunately I happen to like foods that are good for me... Just lucky I guess...

    Canola (there is no such thing as a Canola plant) this oil comes from the rapeseed plant
    Don't think I've seen anyone mention it so I'll interject.

    Rapeseed oil used to be available and was used as a cooking oil quite a bit in Europe and elsewhere in many places around the globe. In North America, though, almost nobody bought something with "rape" in the name. In Canada, where much rapeseed is grown, a government department named Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada fiddled with some cross-breeding and produced a different version of rapeseed. The Western Canadian Oilseed Crushers' Association gave it a new name, canola, and trademarked the name. The Rapeseed Association of Canada became the Canola Council of Canada and all the aforesaid organizations promoted the hell out of it. By the late 1980s, the marketing of the new name was in full swing and finding much success.

    So Canola oil is as much a product of marketing as it is of horticulture, farming and processing.

    Nowadays, it's easy to find web sites that refer to canola as "the world’s healthiest cooking oil."

    I always found that fascinating.

    Triglycerides Funny, they are the transporter of fats and sugar in the body. Look up how your A1C is actually measured.
    If eggs & canola are bad (seed oil) how did our ancestors who had little meat survive on grain? How do birds survive? Look up the hydrogenation process before you speak.
    Remember the old story about colas that turned to ethylene glycol in you body and would kill you? She studied dietetics in school, worked as such for a while, I don't get a lot of bacon but ice cream is great.
    Years ago I dated a gal who did rat testing (cancer), amount of 'stuff' given would drown them - or rupture the throat if she wasn't careful.
    And the new wu flu vaccine was tested on 12 mice!! Before being 'approved'.

    All good info Ben

    the Rapeseed plant is a relative of the mustard plant
    The process it goes thru to get the oil out of the plant is nasty. Involving alot of high heat, pressure and chemicals

    The finished product, called Canola oil already has high levels of oxidation while its on the store shelf
    It only gets worse when you heat it up again to cook with it
    And consuming products that are oxidative is not good for any living animal.

    This promotes free radicals which cause cancer..and effects the cell's very mitochondria. Causes increased omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio, which promotes chronic inflammation and opens you up to a whole other host of illnesses

    Not good..and should be limited if not avoided altogether

    Thanks for the heads up on seed oils, I didn't know that about them. I've been mainly using olive oil for awhile, with some veg oil occasionally. Where does that fit in? Still bad?

    On the soda, yeah that stuff is horrible, and addictive. I've been trying to kick it completely for awhile now. I don't drink it quite like I used to, but still far too much. I think I'll try harder.

    I was discussing nutrition with my mom and sister in law this week and SIL shared this podcast episode

    https://www.honestlypod.com/podcast/episode/d0186220/eating-ourselves-to-death



    They mention the seed oils in it. Gotta say this will be hard for me.

    I've still got the grease can my grandmother used. It used to sit on the back of the stove and all the bacon drippings went into it.

    Healthier cooking and nostalgia, both at the same time. I can get behind that. :)
