EXCELLENT article!!! Covered the topic very well.

This caught my attention:
Quote:
This is a decidedly modern pattern; traditional diets were never high in omega-6 fatty acids. A high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is often linked to inflammation and chronic disease.6


I have been frustrated by the need to move to grassfed meats, especially beef ( as much of the fat is in the marbling so we eat it) and it is a lesser concern in poultry ( but still some concern). Meats are a big source of omega 6, AFTER removing the vegetable oils from my family's diet.
Grassfed meats used to be the norm; modern agriculture like commercial productio methods using grains causes the increase in omega 6 in our meats and drops the omega 3's.
Very difficult to get a 1;4 ratio. THough I see 1:1 on occasion, as if that is the optimal number.

My cooking meethods in the kitchen have changed markedly. Meats are lightly sauted, or boiled. Or roasted. The latter 2 use no extra oils but the choice of fat fot the saute is usually CO. And butter added at the end of the prep.

Kids like the idea of fried foods, but given what is currently known, Im pushing to eliminate these prep methods from our meals. ( BBQ and smoking is also not encouraged but dang it tastes soooo good.)

Quote:
Fats that include higher levels of saturated fatty acids, like clarified butter and coconut oil, are the most heat-stable fats, and are much safer for cooking.

These mostly saturated fats are solid at room temperature, do not become rancid when stored, and resist oxidization when heated. Lard and extra virgin olive oil, both made up of predominately monounsaturated fatty acids, are also quite heat stable.8


I wonder if the " lard" is from commercially fed hogs ( grain fed) or more traditional feeding like pasture and vegies and etc??
Only know of two commercial farms ( farms that produce for other tables beyond their own use) that pasture raise their hogs. Bet there are others.

Never say never when it comes to traditional diets--some were quite rich in omega 6 fatty acids, like the diet of the !Kung, with high reliance on mongongo nuts, a rich source of omega six fatty acids. I'm not saying we should start downing large amounts of corn oil, or try to get a source for mongongo nuts. But things aren't true because they fit our narrative, they're true because they're true.
