I have read that the oils generally regarded as healthy are only healthy if uncooked (and presumably cold pressed), as they morph into something very unhealthy when heated. And that it is actually better therefore to use fats such as coconut or even lard for cooking as they are more stable when heated.
Remembering what people looked like when I was young and lard was used daily as well as butter, and comparing them to the size of the average person today, I'm suspecting there is indeed a link.
I've started using coconut for cooking and keeping the liquid oils for salad dressing etc. Also enjoying butter instead of horrible margarine. Anyone else have thoughts or knowledge on this?
