    4:27 Bulletproof your immune system *free course!
    Today I'm going to cover lard vs. vegetable oil. Lard is pig fat. Tallow is beef or lamb fat. We're talking about the type of lard or tallow that is organic and from pastured and grass-fed animals.
    Some people have a fixed idea that saturated fats, especially lard, equals clogged arteries. Before Crisco was invented, everyone cooked with lard or tallow, and it wasn't considered bad. After Crisco (which is trans fat) was invented, it was marketed as a healthier substitute to lard and tallow (which are saturated fats). However, trans fats were banned by the FDA in 2015.
    Saturated fats:
    • Lard
    • Tallow
    • Butter
    • Coconut oil
    * Saturated fats are very stable and cause less oxidation and free radical damage. They are also meant to be used at higher temperatures.
    Unsaturated fats:
    • Corn oil
    • Soy oil
    • Canola oil
    • Cottonseed oil
    * Unsaturated fats are very unstable, especially when heated. They can cause inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidation, and free radical damage.
    In summary, I believe lard and tallow are much healthier than vegetable oils.

    Woops, so I majorly butchered the word Idee Fixe (see below)

    Roc Wyvern
    2 minutes ago (edited)
    Dr. Berg lol, you've totally butchered the French words (it's not one French word, there's two) "idée fixe" lol. There's no "A" at the end of "idée", so you don't have to add one while trying to pronounce that word. The word is pronounced "ee-day". "ee" like in the word "wee" but without the "w".
    As for the French word "fixe", there's no accent on the "e" (as in "é"), so no point in ending the word as if it was pronounced "ey" (or "ay", as in "day"). The French word "fixe" is pronounced in 2 parts (fix-e) . The first part "fix" is the same as in English. However, you have to add the sound "uh" to it coz it represents the letter "e" at the end of it. So you'll get fix-uh.
    Recap:
    idée => ee-day
    fixe => fix-uh
    ee-day fix-uh

    I recall reading a short precie of a book written by a cardiologist about 1980 who started practice about 1920 and heart attacks were so rare he did not get to treat a patient with that until 1924, next 1928. He explained there was no shortage of work for heart problems but negligible for heart attacks. As he progressed in his profession heart attack patients became common and by 1950 until he retired about 1970 it was mostly what he and his fellow cardiologists did.
    Other health researchers have raised that seed oils were only introduced into the human diet from 1870 when cotton seed oil was first processed as a lubricant and re-purposed as a replacement for the expensive whale oil in lamps. By 1912 Crisco had been introduced specifically for human consumption, obviously people didn't die or have a heart attack the next day but took about 30 years.
    I recall my mother would roast meat and the fat would be left in the tray overnight and used to cook the breakfast and only then poured into a covered pot with a built in strainer for later use, never refrigerated, we only had an ice box then, (and before that an ant safe), before our first ever refrigerator in the 1950's. How times change.
    In any event I won't touch seed oils or any form of processed foods and believe that is the only sensible thing to do.

    I watched The Oiling of America just after reading Good Calories, Bad Calories. Switched to real fats, but really craved butter during this time. As I was losing weight just went with it.
    I had spent decades starving myself fat on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day.
    In my early 30s broke most of the bones in my right foot. By 42 my foot started hurting. Degenerative bone disease. I was told that by 57 I would be in a wheel chair. Every day, ever step was painful and I would get over 70 thousand steps just because of my work.
    I was 52 when I changed my diet. Several months latter I was walking down the stairs and realized my foot no longer hurt. I tried standing on just it. Nothing. I hopped. Nothing. I am a month away from 64 and can hop on that foot still. I am convinced butter healed it.
    My body got a taste of butter, and it knew it had what I needed, there for the extreme cravings at that time.

I would travel to Mexico and eat double the quantity I ate in the states and I would loose weight. When the relatives came to visit us they gained weight and went back home much heavier eating the same quantity here. Obesity didn’t really exist that I recall when we were using lard.

    Your remarks are spot on. Lard is great if it is pastured raised. However in the USA it's impossible to get pastured raised lard. Commercial lard is at least 11 percent polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) because pigs are fed grains and soybean oil. Better to use tallow because ruminants (cows and sheep) can convert PUFAs to saturated fats. So even if cows are feed grains their fat profile is comparable to the fat in grass fed and finished cows.
