Coconut oil is even worse than beef fat or lard.

How do you feel about palm oil (dende)? Equally saturated but
unreplaceable in Brazilian and and almost all African cuisines. It
doesn't seem to be killing THEM.

Well, beef fat and lard are now considered very friendly.
Vegetable oils CAUSE CANCER. Yipes! Help!

Isn't coconut oil the standard oil used to make movie theater
popcorn? Or have they been pressure to change to another oil?

They changed over to Canola oil in either the late 80's or early 90's

It's a good thing I'm up on current events, huh?

Someone better tell that to all the people who use this type of fat
culturally to cook with. They must be dropping like flies. And tell
the author of this book:

Yes of course everyone knows that--- or should. It is better to avoid
saturated fats. But that is not the question I am asking. The
question is: Among saturated fats, which are the least offensive---
those with trans-fatty acids or those without? Crisco or lard? Crisco
or coconut oil? What are the options?

Geez; don't let the voice of reason pollute this thread. I am thoroughly
enjoying it. As coconut oil is my favorite oil any (mis)information that
tends to put downward pressure on the price is a good thing.

Yes. That's a good one. I haven't seen it in a while, (yes, the
originsl website was priceless) but I think that some people need the
added protection that the foil provides. Maybe a lead-lined meat hat
for some overly suspicious persons?

Only 'cause a lot of other maladies get there first. The big deal in
Black Africa is still getting enough calories, not moderating fat
intake.
