Seed Oils: OK to eat or not?

[Bai Lan]

Obesity is spreading in Asia I am pretty sure.....a lot of those Thai bar girls are now on the chunky side.

those aren't girls, uncle touchy.

Awhile back I saw a rather detailed claim about why seed oils are bad, and it sounded terrible, but it was also speculation....this has not been proven so far as I have seen.

This is also a great time to remember that nutrition science is almost all quackery and fraud....with a very long record of being wrong about almost everything.

But I am to deprive myself based upon current claims?

stick to butter lard and olive oil

I also use Avocado and Olive Oil

I use those too; the avocado doesn't burn like olive oil will, though, so I use more of it than the olive oil. I use olive oil as a salad dressing mostly, or low temp frying.

Hawkeye's on to something, Chinese eat as much fried foods and salt as Americans do yet they're thin and healthy while we're fat and have a lot of medical conditions. It may be GMOs or the fact that Americans don't walk enough but who knows?

I hardly ever see kids playing outside any more. They're playing with their phones or computer games. You couldn't keep us inside the house without yelling and making threats when we were kids; the entire neighborhood would be outside from dawn to dark most of the year, doing all kinds of stuff. Now they're pre-diabetic before Jr. High.
