Obviously deodorized oils are not very healthy, but I honestly don't understand all the posts like "Eat only coconut oil/butter/lard". For the "appeal to science", there's plenty of data that diets very high in saturated fats is a risk factor for heart disease. For the "appeal to nature", ancient peoples did not have our modern access to animal fats, hunter gatherers ate a lot of seeds, nuts and bugs to fill out a diet that otherwise ate small lean game with occasional big fatty hunting successes.
- freewinz 5y agoThis comment comes off as extremely uninformed; there is far more chemistry involved in nutrition than the tiny factors you mentioned. Appealing to science could also be eating a higher saturated fat diet like in France where heart disease is lower than in the US. There is lots of science that is ignored by the ignorant and uninformed. Not to mention omega6 vs omega3; what you say is "appeal to nature" is actually appealing to science for some chemistry
- verall 5y agoI really don't understand why calling me ignorant or uninformed is neccesary. I'm just bringing up some counterpoints - something else to consider, I'm not recommending a diet based on soybean oil or anything. I'm curious if you have any direct response to my points - do you know of any reasons that could make another deodorized oil a better option? I would really love to hear it, since I do recommend people that soybean oil is healthier than deodorized palm, canola, or peanut oil.
