Yea but it's typically unsaturated & saturated fat which is being less demonized these days. I'm convinced it's actually healthy for you but don't take my word

Refined Canola Oil & Soybean Oil however have artificial trans fatty acids and are high in omega-6 which is inflammatory.
- fulafel 7y agoAnimal fat contains more trans fats than canola oil (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2015/04/13/ask-the-expert-concerns-about-canola-oil/ https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2015/04/13/ask-...). Pro/anti inflammatory of o6 effect is determined by the o6/o3 ratio which is ok in canola oil. Though even better in some other vegetable oils like olive. But olive oil would have too strong a taste for this application.
- hollerith 7y agoThe trans fats in animal products are mostly conjugated linoleic acids, which are actually good for you as far as we have been able to tell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid In other words, the trans fats that result from heating a vegetable oil are almost certain bad for you -- probably really bad -- whereas the trans fats in meat we don't know a lot about, but what we do know suggests that they are good for you. (Conjugated linoleic acids are sold as nutritional supplements.)
