To my #mahas and #maha curious on here, beef tallow does not cure erectile dysfunction! At least, not the mechanism you think. You could even use a seed oil as a lubricant and get much the same result. Now you know! 😂 #seedoil #beeftallow

"Both beef tallow and seed oils have potential benefits and drawbacks. Beef tallow is low in omega-6 fatty acids and a good source of choline and vitamins D and E. Its high saturated fat content may be a cause for concern in those with high cholesterol or increased risk of heart disease. Seed oils are a source of vitamin E and K, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Most research supports replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat to reduce the risk of heart disease. But, there is some concern that excess omega-6 intake may lead to inflammation. Choosing the healthiest option for you will depend on your health goals and medical conditions. If you’re unsure, consider consulting a registered dietitian to help you make an informed decision."

Robert F Kennedy Jr claims seed oils are ‘poisoning’ us. Here’s why he’s wrong

Like a host of online influencers, the man likely to be the US’s next health secretary has denounced the vegetable oils used in countless foods. The science is not on their side

"Conventional medical guidance has long recommended the reverse: less solid fat, more plant oils. But in recent years, a fringe theory has gained prominence for arguing that seed oils are toxic, put into food by a nefarious elite—including Big Pharma, the FDA, and food manufacturers—to keep Americans unhealthy and dependent. Most nutrition scientists squarely dismiss this idea as a conspiracy theory. But the movement probes some unresolved, fundamental questions about nutrition. Are saturated fatty acids—the kind in animal fat—actually dangerous? And are polyunsaturated ones—found in plant-derived oils—really all that great for your heart? The fact that these debates remain unsettled does not validate Kennedy’s view on fats, which represents a complete reversal of conventional health beliefs. But it does leave plenty of room for his philosophy to proliferate."
