Hello Doc, thank you first and foremost for your great education. Have had my dad of 82 on keto now for about 24 days, but fir some reason he is feeling weak and sometimes dizzy. He has given up beer and proud of him but has not quit his smoking of 66 yrs. Only medication he is taking is water pills to help his blood pressure stay down and Lisinopril. Any recommendations to stop dizziness? Have been on keto now for 20 days and goal is 30-45 days to see how it feels like being fat adapted. Thank you
I am a physician and a biochemist. You are teaching me so much I feel ashamed. I have changed my diet based on what I have learned and I am extremely grateful. I have been double checking most of what you say and I find countless high quality references for it all. Your knowledge is inspiring.
When you find out vegetable oil isn't made from vegetables. And the American Heart Association's first big funder (coz people didn't have Heart problems therefor not much funding) was the companies that make industrial seed oil
I am an MD. I have done a lot of my own reading and research on the subject (on top of the knowledge I have), this is the best, the most scientifically correct and presented in the most accessible way summary I have ever seen. Fantastic job, as always, Dr Ekberg. Thank you for the work you do.
@@cps_Zen_Run unfortunately, just like everywhere else, physicians come in different mindsets and world views. No one stops us from questioning, researching, reading, learning. When I was graduating medical school, during the speech before handing out the diplomas, the dean said something that stuck with me forever and is the quintessence of a good physician - “ if we have taught you ONE thing, I hope it’s that you know what you don’t know”.
@@jayalexander6798 Unfortunately, the fact is we don't know what we don't know, and most so called educated people believe they know everything. Many are not interested in learning from others unless it's in line with what they already believe.
@@jayalexander6798 You sound as if you've gained some wisdom along with your research. You are a doctor I could probably trust. I've had to fire several of my hubby's doctors, one for medication errors that she blamed on us, and one for fabricating discussions with us that I discovered when I requested a copy of our charts, as well as 2 of mine. Good doctors are open to learning, even from their patients
My mother used butter for everything. Most things were baked she never made fried chicken etc... She told me very simply " the body knows what to do with butter but not oil". A very simplistic statement but basically what this man said minus the science. Vicki
Remember that used to tell us of margarine was better than butter back in the 70s and 80s? My mother used to buy margarine because she believed that and now we know that's not true always use butter I never use margarine
That would be great except high school is not there for actual teaching...it’s there for brainwashing and social engineering, just like most government institutions! Even most private school have social agendas and get much of their money from the government!
My heritage is Amish. I have returned to the cooking methods and products of my ancestors. Ghee. Tallow. Lard. EEVO. Coconut. Butter ETC Growing an organic garden, canning, etc. Your information is so cathartic!! I LOVE IT when I'm right 😍❤
First time I actually understood the difference between saturated, mono unsaturated and polyunsaturated molecules. I wish my chemistry teachers would have been this clear and articulate. Superb video, Dr.
Its not their job to teach this. Doctors/teachers usually just stick to what they are trained to teach because they have accountability in giving wrong info when they are paid to teach or heal.
Im a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I really appreciate your updates on all about MUFA PUFA omega 3and 6 and the smoke point, the health consequences in our body. It would really a big help to teach the viewers about the benefits and misconceptions about the use of vegetable oils
At 75 yrs. old , I've survived 2 heart attacks and a heart valve replacement. Thank you for all your valuable information. At this late stage of the game I'm a definite convert. Hopefully not too late to make a difference.
Crazy how we are decreasing our life span and life quality with these insane food processes. I feel like this man is literally saving people here. I am very grateful for all the time he put into this to help people.
Ikr…every commercial food these days are all meant for huge consumption so they stimulate taste buds even if means artificial ingredients. This video explains why are not supposed to eat them.
Also the modern lifestyle means people are becoming lazy. They no longer want to take time to prepare food. It’s so much easier and quicker to buy prepared/processed foods.
As an Indian, I have cooked exclusively in Ghee, Butter, Coconut and Filtered Groundnut Oil. My ancestors put a few thousand years of research into this. And you too have concluded similarly.
Your ancestors were also well known for their historic mustard seed oil, which is a seed oil. In fact I would say India is tied with China is the largest pre industrial producer of seed oils. Though back then they cold pressed it.
@@Frenchfrys17 Cooking with Cold Pressed Mustard Oil would have been a luxury very few people could have afforded in the preindustrial era. Very difficult to extract and even more difficult to store. Mostly used in making Pickles, instead of cooking.
I cannot skip any of your videos and I will not. Not only because it is food for the brain but because it is truly a food for the brain. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I had issues with my gallbladder for the past year, they said I was going to have to get it removed, no stones, just pain. I ended up cutting out all vegetable oils and only using lard and tallow, and I haven't had any pain or issues in the past 2 months. I'm not sure why this is, but it worked!
I look forward every Friday morning to Dr. Ekberg’s nutrition class. Everybody should have teachers like this. I love the technical science-based content and practical advice.
Good morning mr. harvard , when I got this notification on cooking oil, I said to my self, I don’t want to hear a video about cooking oil this early in the morning, so I said to myself, I might as well go ahead and listen and learn about oils, and get it over with! I’m glad I watch this video! So now I have listen, and I have learn about oils
This gentleman knows and understands what he‘s talking about! So many other presentations are full of people reading a script. I could listen to Dr. Ekberg all day long 💪😊👍 You can tell he really cares about us.
You can also get free punches in the face from the ME, yeah! But quality butter will strenghten us. Ive never felt better since my switch to saturated fats.
@@ianmiles2505 i'm from Belgium. Holland / the Netherlands are our neighbours. I know they eat a lot of cheese and they are the tallest and probably the most beautiful people in Europe.
A great Spanish nutritionist, Dr. Sánchez Cobian, many years ago, when asked if the famous Mediterranean diet was the best, he replied that he only recommended three things: use olive oil, eat little of everything and always stay with a little hungry...
I airfry as well. Use a refillable pump spray filled with olive oil to crisp up the outside. Not the same as deep frying but way more convenient and healthy.
From some of the comments from highly trained professionals, it's scary to think how misinformed they were by all their formal education, then passed on to their patients. Glad to see how this better information is increasing awareness even among practicing physicians.
My mind’s blown again. Just when I think I know something.. Eg Avocado oil is best, I find there’s more to it. Nothing’s ever simple. 🥴 Thank God you can explain it. 🧐 What would we do without you? 🤪
@@garryrowland Yeah, he's a real 'Debbie Downer' when it comes to avocado oil, which I have been using. I'm going to read up more on ghee and perhaps make the switch. My only complaint about Dr Ekberg is that his belt is too long 😄
Exactly!!! I completely agree. Should be illegal to sell these things as ok for consumption. I feel this way about most food in the stores ... little debbie's and packaged foods , frozen dinners or fast food for most kids most days for dinner . School food not any better... So bad for you. Sugar should never have been unleashed on the human race as legal. Weed is illegal but alcohol and sugar and cigarettes are fine ...🤦🏼♀️👌🏼✌🏼🤡 Lol ok 👌🏼🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
In Finland those things containing poison oil get a special label. Unfortunately, that label is called "heart label" and are given to products that substitute butter with seed oils (usually rapeseed). It goes beyond ridiculous to furiating since the heart label is given as well to things like cookies, pastries and other industrial waste products high in sugar, white flour and flavour enhancers. Sugar, wheat and seed oils, now what can go wrong with that :D
This video is just unbelievably amazing! I've spent hundreds of hours searching and reading to get the same info you provide in 30 minutes. Excellent job!!!
i have for the past year and a half been eating almost exclusively beef fats butter and eggs for all my fat intake and i recently got my heart checked out, everything is perfect my blood pressure is consistently around 110/59 and ive actually leaned out quite a bit. Cutting out all the soy and canola oil's really does wonders for the body
I've always used butter and olive oil. Since I've been buying my meat from a local farm, I asked about beef tallow. I've read some amazing things about it. It's easy to render down. I use it in place of butter for a lot of my cooking. It really flavorful. I also use pork lard.
@jakarreh Na I actually don't like the taste of olive oil So I don't use it, I basically put crumbled cheese and salt on salads sometimes vinegar dressing that doesn't have seed oil
@skal9510 Yeah I want to get beef tallow soon and make my own mayonnaise out of it. Because even the mayo that says it's made with olive oil or avocado oil, you look at the ingredients and its also still got soybean oil and canola oil. it's such a scam
finally found someone who actually said it: our body fat doesn't come directly from the animal fat we eat. mostly that fat comes, like in the case of animals, from sugars which we are fed by the food industry in pretty much any processed food. Amazing video and greatly informative. keep up the good work!
Shame that is wrong and the wrong way to look at it. As with everything it's more complicated than that. The body uses the energy in carbs first (well after alcohol) as they are easier for the body to break down. So if you eat excess calories then the last to be left is the fat. Yes if you eat too many crabs ultimately they will be turned into fat but it's less efficient that simply depositing the fat. I understand that it takes about 30% of the energy in the carbs to turn them into fat. Also fats have 2 time the calories to carbs by mass, so they make it much easier to go over the number of calories you need to survive and thrive. As volume plays a part in the feeling of satiation, you can eat twice as much in the form of carbs and feel fuller and have less calories (preferably whole carbs not processed carbs). So, yes you may get fat by eating too many calories in the form of carbs but it is easier to get over the amount of calories you need in a day with fats and if your over that tipping point it''s the fat over that point that will end up on (or under your ribs). Yes this video make you feel good about your bad habits and help you avoid Omega 6's and some oxidative stresses, that is about all.
I mean it's not a secret, that's literally stuff taught in schools. Has anyone ever said that your body fat comes from oils you eat? Like ever? The issue with oils is how much they affect overall health, not the body mass.
This single video. This one source of information and my change in which oils I consume and how I use them has reduced the inflammation in my shoulders and elbows to the point I can exercise again. I can sleep through the night again. I can sit comfortably for extended periods. Thank you!
I am glad someone finally talked about Ghee and Tallow. How and where do you grade walnut and peanut oils for cooking. it has been used for cooking in Persia and India for centuries but not at high tempretures. mustard oil has been used for frying. Furthermore, how is sunflower oil for cooking.
Peanut oil is trash. I never seen walnut oil though. Walnuts in itself have the highest omega 3 in nutz i think. But like the doctor said, it might nut matter when it is turned into an oil.
I live in Finland and I had no idea what our equivalent of vegetable oil was. I googled and vegetable oils here are almost entirely just canola oil. Really 90% of all cooking oils in the stores are olive oil and canola oil. I have always only used olive oil. I love it on everything I feel I might have some mediterranean genes in me because I could have olive oil on my ice cream… And italian/spanish average life expectancy is almost 84 years and I believe it’s because fish/red meat/olive oil is like 90% of the fats in their diet.
Here in the US canola oil is considered a step above vegetable oil. However obviously olive oil is better. Now I'm hearing that macadamia nut oil maybe even better for health with a higher smoke point for cooking.
Czech Republic, Canola is very common, Sunflower is popular for salads. Lard is quite popular with bread (i guess bread which is common in former austria-hungarian monarchy, not the white one) or for frying.
Here in Spain Olive Oil is everywhere, for salads, for cooking, or just with bread, however sunflower oil is cheaper and is also very common but only for cooking dishes wich require a fat with less flavour or a very high temperature.
And my mum always used Ghee here in India because its the most famous one. And previously I told my mum not to use it 😂😂😂. Ill tell her to use it again.
Boy this was really good thank you so much! I’ve been cooking with olive oil , coconut and butter for years now. Now I feel better because sometimes I would feel guilty using butter in my cooking. Love this
And don't forget mustard oil that has better nutritional profile than olive oil as well. Erucic acid? no that's not toxic to us who have been consuming for centuries
@@70newlife well that's a first. All my friends from the 'South' loved my mutton and fish dishes prepared with mustard oil. Not only did they stood, but also sweared by the food they ate. None of them got any allergy too. The only ones who erucic acid affect realistically are lab rats. The amount we intake hardly has any affect on humans. A lot of ppl from the north also dislike the smell of coconut oil in food, doesn't mean we all feel the same way So let's all get away with the stereotypes and propaganda
An exceptional person and specialist. Extremely important videos that everyone should see and radically change their thinking and lifestyle. Otherwise there is simply no life. Thank you so very much, Dr.Ekberg!
@@cocomoose4730 please have some history lessons. The indian indigenous product were eradicated and discouraged during the colonial british era, so that they can sell their own products. And even introduced education sys, which intern mind washed the indians as having a modern(british) lifestyle would be prideful.
I already been using olive oil, coconut oil and butter only, but you explained correctly why not to use for cooking the rest of them, unfortunately the corporation in order to make profit before health are just maximising the end product to something its not food anymore. We can't change them but we can inform and educate our society to choose wiser. Many thanks for you work Dr 🍒
@@aliendroneservices6621 don't know where you live to say something so strange. In Europe good quality olive oil is everywhere. We can get it on farmers markets, in supermarkets, in organic stores. From different European countries and islands.
As your long time subscriber, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your work to educate us about good and bad about our health. Your explanation about every subject you talking about is plain and simple, easy to understand and it’s one of the best health channels on TH-cam so far! Thank you!!!
Of all of the information that you have introduced to me, the facts about oils and cooking with oils has been the biggest shock. Swimming against the tide is not going to be easy, but I have to make these changes in how I cook for my family, and just hope that others can accept it.
I start using my Walnuts to make my own coldpressed walnut oil for external and internal use from head to toe benefits. I use the pulp for my worms, the green shell for iodene tincture and the brown shell for my fire stove. If I have extra, I use the old moldy Walnuts as cooking charcoal. Nothing is waste.
All I can say is, we were eating tropical fats in Africa for ages and we had low cancer and heart disease rates. Now that our markets are awash with 'vegetable oils', our cancer, diabetes and heart disease rates have gone up rapidly..
As you perhaps know, French fries were invented in Belgium. Before 1970/80 they were fried in tallow, because that was the fat they had. A big drawback was the fact that when the fries cooled down the fat solidified and made the fries stiff. They had to be consumed quickly especially in winter. So the “friteurs” were very happy with the new cooking oils!
French fries atleast in the us is derived from a common west african fried plaintain dish which, like you mention, were fried in animal fat. Oddly enough a common dish in nigeria is plantian and chicken both prepared identically to the american equivalent hence the "southern" and american story of chicken and fries:) .
Use duck fat or goose fat and it will not go into the product you fry, found out by accident because you have to filter it after use and the amount stayed more or less the same after using but it has to be stored in the fridge. Lived in France for 24 years and the people in that knew.
Wow wow wowwww!!! I have NO idea what you just said BUT I am SOOO going to listen to this five times over until it sinks in! You’re friggen amazing my friend... I really love your vids! 👏👏👏
ROTFL Spiritual Solutions. I love to hear that. It is so worth it to understand this stuff though, because fats are the foundation of our energy. Once you understand it and own the basic principles presented in this video, they are yours forever. 😄
This is very helpful Dr. Ekberg. But there's at least one oil missing which gets used a lot in Europe: sunflower oil. Basically, if there's any oil in the product, chances are it's either canola or sunflower. I'm guessing it's just as bad as canola, but it would be cool to have the Doc's take on it. One thing we do have going for us though it's no GMO here ( or at least, it shouldn't be by law)
@@clarawilkerson9903 if we go by the favour rule i'd suspect sesame oil is good to go! (plus it's usually added at the very end of the cooking so it should not heat up much)
Ghee doesn't have to be expensive. It is so easy to make yourself. You just heat up butter on low in a crock pot with some water added. Let it melt hit temperature for an hour or so, then stir it a bit and turn off the heat. Once it comes back down to room temp, put it in the fridge and let it cool overnight. The water and solids will fall to the bottom and the oil (or ghee) will float to the top. Once cooled, you pop the solid ghee on the top out and discard the water and milk solids below. Then heat the solidified part up one more time to let all the water evaporate. Once it stops bubbling, the water is all gone. You'll lose about 1/4 or so of the total amount of butter you started with, so don't be surprised if three sticks of butter only makes 3 sticks worth of ghee. Now you can put the ghee in a container and it will last for months in the fridge!
Looks a bit complicated to me. How abt just melt the butter with low heat and let the milk separate to the bottom. Then just pour down gently cleared butter..
@@terranceaddison4599 Unsalted butter, water and heat. In a crock pot, on its lowest setting, add a cup of water per pound of butter. Melt butter and stir every little bit for an hour or so. Mixing it actually helps pull the solids out of the fat. You'll see it separate into the clear, light yellow ghee on top and the cloudy milk solids and water below. Then, take all the melted mixture and put it in a container in the fridge until it hardens. At this point the ghee is on top and the milk solids and water will settle at the bottom. Once hard, take it out and remove the solid mass from the container. It helps if the container is shaped so its easy to slide out. Scrape off and discard the solids from the bottom of the block. What you have left is ghee! Its easier to make than it was to read this recipe. Just don't overheat it!
Dr. Ekberg's videos should be included in the health curriculum for all students, K through 12th grade. Start them young to avoid future health problems.
@@MrThepopopopo Well put! They're the same people who wanted everyone to muzzle themselves for over a year and now inject experimental gene therapy (masquerading as a vaxxu for legal reasons).
Can’t believe I’d never discovered Dr Ekberg until today. The way he looks at food and our body is exactly what drove me to pursue a degree in the field to get a holistic view. I can’t stop watching these videos on 2X speed. Thanks so much for explaining the whys in such details yet easy to understand🌸
We've come full circle as a species - tallow, lard, ghee and butter fed our ancestors for eons without any problems. I use these extensively - all my vitals are perfect. I don't care much for coconut and olive though. My go to ref salad dressing is cold pressed avocado and macadamia. Even cold pressed palm FRUIT oil (red in color found in West African native stores) is full of Vitamin A. Don't fry with it though - just add after cooking.
You’re the best. Thanks! I started intermittent fasting a week ago. Lost 3 kilos. First day pretty hard sugar craving wise. Day two that was gone. Cheers! Oh my diet. Two cappuccinos in the morning. One slice of home baked sourdough bread at 1. Low carb meal in the evening. Alcohol only in the weekend.
@@martillyu3922 I’ve stopped losing weight. Still 3 or 4 kilos from when I started. But I feel a whole lot better. I think it is because of eating next to no sugar.
@@marisasim8957 Hey Marisa! yes you are right, in fact I think Tom Hanks' chilling words when he was asked for any last words after refusing to cooperate at his tribunal....."You will never shut us down, we are everywhere". If we think the last 18 months has been difficult, wait and see what's coming in the next months and years! By 2023, we should see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it will be for some the final days of their timeline for both sides.....we must stay strong and true to our hearts and know that knowledge and awareness is indeed power! It is also important to understand our own Sovereignty and what that means as some have no idea!
Finally! Excellent explanation of cooking oils and debunking all the myths around this very important subject. I certainly was totally confused. I know what to do now. Thank you very much indeed
@@mcdianer not sure about the natural refinement process. He said it should be green, not yellow or light. I will probably use it for non heat cooking, doubt I will buy another bottle.
Used vegetable oil my whole life, I moved to Denmark and was taught to use olive oil, I didn’t even question it, just used what’s available. I hope olive is a good one!
We Indians use Ghee and Coconut oil from ages, centuries...But foreign companies just spoiled our mindset that ghee and butter cause heartattacks..Even Ayurveda strongly recommends Ghee for cooking..I will use these four mentioned oils proudly now...
To anyone skeptical of his views on oils, may I remind you of the years past when the US Government strongly endorsed the food pyramid, or when breast feeding was seen as bad from the 1800's till the 1960's, or the fact that our FDA still approves artificial food dyes that are banned in other countries because studies have shown a correlation between ADHD... yet we wonder why 1 out of 10 kids has ADHD. The fact is simple, in the overall span of time that we've been humans, we've spent over 99% of our existence as a species eating unprocessed natural animal fats. I'm sick of living in a stupid insulated box of bullsh!t that has been fed to us, just like Christopher Columbus in schools.
the best tasting (butter, ghee, olive oil) happen to be the best for you! Yeah! Coconut oil can be incredible too if you find one that doesn't have strong flavor (some don't) or if you like coconut flavor (I do) and want it in something. My cast iron pans are coated in years of these.
Cooking oils covered in this clip, in order of desirability: 1.Ghee 2.Butter 3.Coconut 4. Olive 5.Lard; Tallow 6.Avocado 7.Safflower 8.Canola 9.Soyabean 10.Flaxseed Oil not covered: peanut/groundnut. (But i reckon this is aroun 7-9, so it's not desirable). For his rationale, view the clip. 😉
I have to say a massive thank you to dr Ekberg as these videos have literally changed my life for the better. I’ve been fasting a following some of your tips regarding acv and my mind and body has never felt so good! Thank you 🙏🏽
Love these videos, you and Dr. Cate have changed my life. We moved to home made dressings using unrefined extra virgin avocado oil for over a year. Problem is avocado oil is going through same scams as olive oil did a few years back. A study found most avocado oil is bogus. Look for Avohass, Chosen or Primal brands and look for a label on bottle as to when harvested and expiration. Real unrefined will have green color as this video shows.
I can’t believe I was duped into thinking avocado oil was a good cooking oil. I now have the motivation to take back two half gallons I bought from Costco. They sell a lot of crappy oils. I saw that you have a video on what oils to buy at Costco, so I’ll check that out. Thanks for the info.
Excellent video again. What I love about your lectures is that you don't just make bold statements but that you explain the logic and the functionality behind it. Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg! We all love you! I have always been pretty good at science, and I have had enough courses on biology, anatomy, physiology, and chemistry to know that what you say makes perfect sense, and so exceeds our ridiculous government recommendations that it is not even funny. In fact, it’s very tragic. But we are all learning now thanks to you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you, I’ve known for years how bad seed oils are but your explanation gave me more insight as to why. One thing I was waiting for you to mention but you didn’t was how they hydrogenate oil to give it a longer shelf life. I thought that was the number one reason to avoid seed oil. I hope you can respond to this. Thanks again.
I have those 4 oils in my pantry and my fridge, and that’s what I use also. It’s manly cause I like them but now I also know they are the best. Thank you ❤️
This was the best comprehensive explanation of oils I have ever seen. Very well researched and presented in an easy to understand and logical way. Thank you so much.
My family uses mustard oil for cooking and deep frying and ghee for dressing and normal frying. No problem regarding heart health yet. From 70-80 years as far as i know.
This was a very satisfying video. I don´t feel saturated as I could easily digest it because of the way you explained it. The oils I cook with, in the order I use most, are EVOO and coconut/ghee oil/butter. Thank you.
Ghee still contain some solids(protein and so on), the solids are browned and are there for flavor. Clarified butter on the other hand is only the butter fat, all the solids are discarded. You can see it if you melt it, ghee has solids floating in it, while clarified butter is clear and uniform.
There are two ways of making ghee. It can be made from Curd which is the best way to do it. The other way is to make it from the cream. The latter isn't the best way.
I make my own ghee and try to get all the solids out before cooking with it. I love it. I also use it as a lubricant for jar lids that get stuck and as a skin moisterizer in small quantities.
@@RandomloserDK Fortunately, I am able to buy 5-lb or 50-lb units of coarsely ground beef suet from a family owned grass-fed ranch about an hour down the road.
I found your channel 2 weeks ago Dr. Ekberg and i have been watching several video's a day, your content is so amazingly detailed and well presented. I have been practicing a keto diet for 5 days, and just tested my urine and found a high ketone content. Im transitioning from eating take out and fast food for every meal to cooking and paying attention to what i put into my body all because of you! Thank you so much.

theres actually studies from all the way back in the 60s 70s that back up this video. very thorough and over 5 years of very controlled testing feeding people food cooked with oil and the other half were fed with beef tallow, the beef tallow people didnt develop heart diseases or cholesterol or anything. opposed to the oils people which got really sick.
They also didn't eat a lot of grains. Grains wrecked havoc on the Egyptians with heart disease and poor dental hygiene. Cholesterol btw is not deadly, it's absolutely essential for humans in the development of cells and hormones.
Although it has an abundance of omega-3, it is not in the form. Our body must convert it into a usable form. Which is another rational reason to chuck the bottle.
I liked your video - very informative. However 1. Could you please analyse Rice bran oil, groundnut oil, sesame (gingely) oil, palm oil, sunflower oil. 2. Could you please clarify if cold pressed oil & physically refined oil are one & the same?
Thank you I am going to start my intermittent fasting( I did it for two weeks and I love it) i ate some peeps and reese eggs, but now i am ready, thank i love you so much, you are awesome!!😇🥑🌲🐾🌻🐞🦗🥥🥬
I can agree with these findings just based on cooking being on keto. The primary oils we use are coconut and butter. Ghee is just too expensive for what it is. When we do fry we use lard and discard. Did learn quite a bit from this though... a person I watch mentioned frequently how he doesn't like vegetable oils, or soybean because it made him swell and sick - and this video explained why.
I really do love me some flaxseed oil. If I get the fresh, sealed, and refrigerated ones. I used to take it straight to get more omega 3's and I actually enjoyed the taste as long as I got the smaller bottle so I'd finish it before it loses too much of the freshness. My favorite use of it is to make vinaigrette for my salads. So tasty. Sorry, I know you are talking about using the oils for cooking, but my fingers were itching to type something.
I love it when videos like this bring the science and not just "do this and don't do this because I said so" or "studies show" without references. Thank you Dr. Eckberg!
a square meter of palm oil plantation can produce 350 gram of oil, while a square meter of rapeseed plantation can produce only 70 gram of oil and a square meters of soy just about 40 gram of soy oil. so replacing palm oil means, more land to clean to produce the same amount of palms oil
I made butter last weekend with a half gallon of whipping cream and go almost 2 pounds of butter. I will be making the other half-gallon this weekend and turning it into Ghee! Thanks so much, Dr. Sten!!!
Excellent video. First one I think I've seen that actually talks about how terrible Canola is. I unfortunately live amongst too many industrial, corporate farmers (Central Canada) and they all grow Canola these days. Aside from the refinement and GMO seeds, they SOAK these fields in a cornucopia of toxic chemicals spring, summer, and fall. Sickening that anybody is dumb enough to believe this is a 'health' product (it's not a 'food'). I haven't touched margarine or Canola oil for 20 years and avoid a product if Canola is on the ingredients list, which is happening more and more lately. I will also have to toss the Avocado oil I have been getting from Costco. We mainly use organic butter anyways. This video should be shown in elementary schools and again in high school.
I make my own lard with backfat from Mangalista Pigs which are pasture raised. If you haven't heard of that breed of pig they are considered the Waygu version of the pork world. Nothing like what is sold in stores.

I am a physician and a biochemist. You are teaching me so much I feel ashamed. I have changed my diet based on what I have learned and I am extremely grateful. I have been double checking most of what you say and I find countless high quality references for it all. Your knowledge is inspiring.

I am an MD. I have done a lot of my own reading and research on the subject (on top of the knowledge I have), this is the best, the most scientifically correct and presented in the most accessible way summary I have ever seen. Fantastic job, as always, Dr Ekberg. Thank you for the work you do.
Hoping you can help us educate your colleagues. I often find that health professionals overall lack current science based nutritional knowledge.
@@cps_Zen_Run unfortunately, just like everywhere else, physicians come in different mindsets and world views. No one stops us from questioning, researching, reading, learning. When I was graduating medical school, during the speech before handing out the diplomas, the dean said something that stuck with me forever and is the quintessence of a good physician - “ if we have taught you ONE thing, I hope it’s that you know what you don’t know”.
Thank you for your commitment to being a true physician. ❤
@@jayalexander6798 Unfortunately, the fact is we don't know what we don't know, and most so called educated people believe they know everything. Many are not interested in learning from others unless it's in line with what they already believe.
@@jayalexander6798 You sound as if you've gained some wisdom along with your research. You are a doctor I could probably trust. I've had to fire several of my hubby's doctors, one for medication errors that she blamed on us, and one for fabricating discussions with us that I discovered when I requested a copy of our charts, as well as 2 of mine.

As an Indian, I have cooked exclusively in Ghee, Butter, Coconut and Filtered Groundnut Oil. My ancestors put a few thousand years of research into this. And you too have concluded similarly.

In Finland those things containing poison oil get a special label. Unfortunately, that label is called "heart label" and are given to products that substitute butter with seed oils (usually rapeseed). It goes beyond ridiculous to furiating since the heart label is given as well to things like cookies, pastries and other industrial waste products high in sugar, white flour and flavour enhancers. Sugar, wheat and seed oils, now what can go wrong with that :D

i have for the past year and a half been eating almost exclusively beef fats butter and eggs for all my fat intake and i recently got my heart checked out, everything is perfect my blood pressure is consistently around 110/59 and ive actually leaned out quite a bit. Cutting out all the soy and canola oil's really does wonders for the body
Not even an olive oil onde in a while?
@@jakarrehevoo is good for salad dressing.
I've always used butter and olive oil. Since I've been buying my meat from a local farm, I asked about beef tallow. I've read some amazing things about it. It's easy to render down. I use it in place of butter for a lot of my cooking. It really flavorful. I also use pork lard.
@jakarreh Na I actually don't like the taste of olive oil So I don't use it, I basically put crumbled cheese and salt on salads sometimes vinegar dressing that doesn't have seed oil
@skal9510 Yeah I want to get beef tallow soon and make my own mayonnaise out of it. Because even the mayo that says it's made with olive oil or avocado oil, you look at the ingredients and its also still got soybean oil and canola oil. it's such a scam
finally found someone who actually said it: our body fat doesn't come directly from the animal fat we eat. mostly that fat comes, like in the case of animals, from sugars which we are fed by the food industry in pretty much any processed food. Amazing video and greatly informative. keep up the good work!
the 'you are what you eat' meme so appealing that it leads people to avoid catfish just because they are bottom feeders.
Out body comes from an excess intake in calories .
@@lesterroberts1628 true, and I’ve had excellent smoked catfish.
Shame that is wrong and the wrong way to look at it. As with everything it's more complicated than that. The body uses the energy in carbs first (well after alcohol) as they are easier for the body to break down. So if you eat excess calories then the last to be left is the fat. Yes if you eat too many crabs ultimately they will be turned into fat but it's less efficient that simply depositing the fat. I understand that it takes about 30% of the energy in the carbs to turn them into fat.
Also fats have 2 time the calories to carbs by mass, so they make it much easier to go over the number of calories you need to survive and thrive.
As volume plays a part in the feeling of satiation, you can eat twice as much in the form of carbs and feel fuller and have less calories (preferably whole carbs not processed carbs).
So, yes you may get fat by eating too many calories in the form of carbs but it is easier to get over the amount of calories you need in a day with fats and if your over that tipping point it''s the fat over that point that will end up on (or under your ribs).
Yes this video make you feel good about your bad habits and help you avoid Omega 6's and some oxidative stresses, that is about all.
I mean it's not a secret, that's literally stuff taught in schools. Has anyone ever said that your body fat comes from oils you eat? Like ever? The issue with oils is how much they affect overall health, not the body mass.
I just began cooking with Ghee. It gives the food a nice flavor. I'm glad it's on the "good oils" list.
The only concern about Ghee, is that saturated fat helps create plaque and then the number 1 cause of death worldwide, atherosclerosis
These are hands down the most information-packed videos on healthy eating and life-style.
This single video. This one source of information and my change in which oils I consume and how I use them has reduced the inflammation in my shoulders and elbows to the point I can exercise again. I can sleep through the night again. I can sit comfortably for extended periods. Thank you!
I am glad someone finally talked about Ghee and Tallow. How and where do you grade walnut and peanut oils for cooking. it has been used for cooking in Persia and India for centuries but not at high tempretures. mustard oil has been used for frying. Furthermore, how is sunflower oil for cooking.
Part of it is how long to store the oils before they go rancid.
Peanut oil is trash. I never seen walnut oil though. Walnuts in itself have the highest omega 3 in nutz i think. But like the doctor said, it might nut matter when it is turned into an oil.
I love the way Dr Ekberg presents everything in a genuine manner that is just factual and informative! Subscribed!
I live in Finland and I had no idea what our equivalent of vegetable oil was. I googled and vegetable oils here are almost entirely just canola oil. Really 90% of all cooking oils in the stores are olive oil and canola oil. I have always only used olive oil. I love it on everything I feel I might have some mediterranean genes in me because I could have olive oil on my ice cream…
And italian/spanish average life expectancy is almost 84 years and I believe it’s because fish/red meat/olive oil is like 90% of the fats in their diet.

I am from Croatia,here ,90% of cooking oil is rafined sunflover oil.
I didnt see in any store rafined, or cold pressed canola oil.
Here in the US canola oil is considered a step above vegetable oil. However obviously olive oil is better. Now I'm hearing that macadamia nut oil maybe even better for health with a higher smoke point for cooking.
Czech Republic, Canola is very common, Sunflower is popular for salads. Lard is quite popular with bread (i guess bread which is common in former austria-hungarian monarchy, not the white one) or for frying.
Here in Spain Olive Oil is everywhere, for salads, for cooking, or just with bread, however sunflower oil is cheaper and is also very common but only for cooking dishes wich require a fat with less flavour or a very high temperature.
And my mum always used Ghee here in India because its the most famous one. And previously I told my mum not to use it 😂😂😂. Ill tell her to use it again.
Boy this was really good thank you so much! I’ve been cooking with olive oil , coconut and butter for years now. Now I feel better because sometimes I would feel guilty using butter in my cooking. Love this

And don't forget mustard oil that has better nutritional profile than olive oil as well. Erucic acid? no that's not toxic to us who have been consuming for centuries
@@SauravDasGuptaIN most people from South india can't stand the smell. Many are allergic to it.

As you perhaps know, French fries were invented in Belgium. Before 1970/80 they were fried in tallow, because that was the fat they had. A big drawback was the fact that when the fries cooled down the fat solidified and made the fries stiff. They had to be consumed quickly especially in winter. So the “friteurs” were very happy with the new cooking oils!
LARD is the word
@@t.corazon6350 Praise the lard!
French fries atleast in the us is derived from a common west african fried plaintain dish which, like you mention, were fried in animal fat. Oddly enough a common dish in nigeria is plantian and chicken both prepared identically to the american equivalent hence the "southern" and american story of chicken and fries:) .
Use duck fat or goose fat and it will not go into the product you fry, found out by accident because you have to filter it after use and the amount stayed more or less the same after using but it has to be stored in the fridge. Lived in France for 24 years and the people in that knew.

This is very helpful Dr. Ekberg. But there's at least one oil missing which gets used a lot in Europe: sunflower oil. Basically, if there's any oil in the product, chances are it's either canola or sunflower.
I'm guessing it's just as bad as canola, but it would be cool to have the Doc's take on it.
One thing we do have going for us though it's no GMO here ( or at least, it shouldn't be by law)
if its not made cold pressed and if there is alot of heat applied and refinement during production its bad.

@@clarawilkerson9903 if we go by the favour rule i'd suspect sesame oil is good to go! (plus it's usually added at the very end of the cooking so it should not heat up much)

@@bbkyuu
Sesame oil is usually added for that smokey flavor, and not as a cooking oil.
Ghee doesn't have to be expensive. It is so easy to make yourself. You just heat up butter on low in a crock pot with some water added. Let it melt hit temperature for an hour or so, then stir it a bit and turn off the heat. Once it comes back down to room temp, put it in the fridge and let it cool overnight. The water and solids will fall to the bottom and the oil (or ghee) will float to the top. Once cooled, you pop the solid ghee on the top out and discard the water and milk solids below. Then heat the solidified part up one more time to let all the water evaporate. Once it stops bubbling, the water is all gone. You'll lose about 1/4 or so of the total amount of butter you started with, so don't be surprised if three sticks of butter only makes 3 sticks worth of ghee. Now you can put the ghee in a container and it will last for months in the fridge!
Looks a bit complicated to me. How abt just melt the butter with low heat and let the milk separate to the bottom. Then just pour down gently cleared butter..
What are the ingredients?
@@terranceaddison4599 Unsalted butter, water and heat. In a crock pot, on its lowest setting, add a cup of water per pound of butter. Melt butter and stir every little bit for an hour or so. Mixing it actually helps pull the solids out of the fat. You'll see it separate into the clear, light yellow ghee on top and the cloudy milk solids and water below. Then, take all the melted mixture and put it in a container in the fridge until it hardens. At this point the ghee is on top and the milk solids and water will settle at the bottom. Once hard, take it out and remove the solid mass from the container. It helps if the container is shaped so its easy to slide out. Scrape off and discard the solids from the bottom of the block. What you have left is ghee! Its easier to make than it was to read this recipe. Just don't overheat it!

You’re the best. Thanks! I started intermittent fasting a week ago. Lost 3 kilos. First day pretty hard sugar craving wise. Day two that was gone. Cheers!
Oh my diet. Two cappuccinos in the morning. One slice of home baked sourdough bread at 1. Low carb meal in the evening. Alcohol only in the weekend.
Can you share what is your progress now?
@@martillyu3922 I’ve stopped losing weight. Still 3 or 4 kilos from when I started. But I feel a whole lot better. I think it is because of eating next to no sugar.
This is the in depth knowledge, needed to be taught in our medical schools.
Why would they do that! Their aim is to give us the wrong information so that we get sick and die off slowly so that we can pay for their drugs!
And high schools!!
Unfortunately, medical schools are "run" by big pharma to mislead so they can continue to make people sick in order to stay profitable!
@@marisasim8957 Hey Marisa! yes you are right, in fact I think Tom Hanks' chilling words when he was asked for any last words after refusing to cooperate at his tribunal....."You will never shut us down, we are everywhere". If we think the last 18 months has been difficult, wait and see what's coming in the next months and years! By 2023, we should see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it will be for some the final days of their timeline for both sides.....we must stay strong and true to our hearts and know that knowledge and awareness is indeed power! It is also important to understand our own Sovereignty and what that means as some have no idea!
Meanwhile school knowledge...
Finally! Excellent explanation of cooking oils and debunking all the myths around this very important subject. I certainly was totally confused. I know what to do now.
Thank you very much indeed
We’ve been using ghee for a few months now. Amazing what it can do for making bland foods taste great! Great on the cast iron pan too
I bought tallow for the first time this week, and first used it to make an omelette. This is the best tasting omelette I've ever eaten.
@Andy Man Can you share how you do it?
@Andy Man That would be LARD (pig fat). Tallow will come from bovine fat.
Another problem: Study Finds 82 Percent of Avocado Oil Rancid or Mixed With Other Oils (University of California, Davis)
Thank you ___. Yep. Why am I not surprised. 😕
Try Chosen Avocado oil. Supposed to not have the bad stuff. 😉
I paused and checked my Chosen brand avocado oil. The label says naturally refined. The color is light yellow, no green at all.
@@sharoncontini3284 is that good or bad? I learned about Chosen on another u-tube. Thanks for any feedback
@@mcdianer not sure about the natural refinement process. He said it should be green, not yellow or light. I will probably use it for non heat cooking, doubt I will buy another bottle.
Used vegetable oil my whole life, I moved to Denmark and was taught to use olive oil, I didn’t even question it, just used what’s available. I hope olive is a good one!
Many dont know that Canola oil can cause hair loss.
Nope
We Indians use Ghee and Coconut oil from ages, centuries...But foreign companies just spoiled our mindset that ghee and butter cause heartattacks..Even Ayurveda strongly recommends Ghee for cooking..I will use these four mentioned oils proudly now...
The processing and refining of the oils scares me but I don't use much of them anyway. Thanks Dr. good video.
Thank you John D S. Be afraid. Be very afraid of processed seed oils. 😄
To anyone skeptical of his views on oils, may I remind you of the years past when the US Government strongly endorsed the food pyramid, or when breast feeding was seen as bad from the 1800's till the 1960's, or the fact that our FDA still approves artificial food dyes that are banned in other countries because studies have shown a correlation between ADHD... yet we wonder why 1 out of 10 kids has ADHD. The fact is simple, in the overall span of time that we've been humans, we've spent over 99% of our existence as a species eating unprocessed natural animal fats. I'm sick of living in a stupid insulated box of bullsh!t that has been fed to us, just like Christopher Columbus in schools.

Unfortunately USA has the most unhealthy food 😕
the best tasting (butter, ghee, olive oil) happen to be the best for you! Yeah! Coconut oil can be incredible too if you find one that doesn't have strong flavor (some don't) or if you like coconut flavor (I do) and want it in something. My cast iron pans are coated in years of these.
Cooking oils covered in this clip, in order of desirability:
1.Ghee
2.Butter
3.Coconut
4. Olive
5.Lard; Tallow
6.Avocado
7.Safflower
8.Canola
9.Soyabean
10.Flaxseed
Oil not covered: peanut/groundnut. (But i reckon this is aroun 7-9, so it's not desirable). For his rationale, view the clip. 😉
I have to say a massive thank you to dr Ekberg as these videos have literally changed my life for the better.
I’ve been fasting a following some of your tips regarding acv and my mind and body has never felt so good! Thank you 🙏🏽
I like his English, clear and every single word is understandable. Of course his knowledge is very helpful to many many people.Thank you for sharing.
Agreed. He has a quite marked Swedish accent, but a comprehensible and carefully chosen vocabulary and enunciation.
Love these videos, you and Dr. Cate have changed my life. We moved to home made dressings using unrefined extra virgin avocado oil for over a year. Problem is avocado oil is going through same scams as olive oil did a few years back. A study found most avocado oil is bogus. Look for Avohass, Chosen or Primal brands and look for a label on bottle as to when harvested and expiration. Real unrefined will have green color as this video shows.
I can’t believe I was duped into thinking avocado oil was a good cooking oil. I now have the motivation to take back two half gallons I bought from Costco. They sell a lot of crappy oils. I saw that you have a video on what oils to buy at Costco, so I’ll check that out. Thanks for the info.
Excellent video again. What I love about your lectures is that you don't just make bold statements but that you explain the logic and the functionality behind it. Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg! We all love you! I have always been pretty good at science, and I have had enough courses on biology, anatomy, physiology, and chemistry to know that what you say makes perfect sense, and so exceeds our ridiculous government recommendations that it is not even funny. In fact, it’s very tragic. But we are all learning now thanks to you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you, I’ve known for years how bad seed oils are but your explanation gave me more insight as to why. One thing I was waiting for you to mention but you didn’t was how they hydrogenate oil to give it a longer shelf life. I thought that was the number one reason to avoid seed oil. I hope you can respond to this. Thanks again.
I use Ghee and MCT oil for Bulletproof Coffee... We use coconut oil and butter for saute/frying food.
I have those 4 oils in my pantry and my fridge, and that’s what I use also. It’s manly cause I like them but now I also know they are the best. Thank you ❤️
This was the best comprehensive explanation of oils I have ever seen. Very well researched and presented in an easy to understand and logical way. Thank you so much.
One of the best most important presentations I’ve ever seen. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
My family uses mustard oil for cooking and deep frying and ghee for dressing and normal frying.
No problem regarding heart health yet. From 70-80 years as far as i know.
This was a very satisfying video. I don´t feel saturated as I could easily digest it because of the way you explained it. The oils I cook with, in the order I use most, are EVOO and coconut/ghee oil/butter. Thank you.
The most instructive and accurate video I've seen since I started researching keto 5 years ago. Brilliant, thank you Dr👍
Ghee still contain some solids(protein and so on), the solids are browned and are there for flavor.
Clarified butter on the other hand is only the butter fat, all the solids are discarded.
You can see it if you melt it, ghee has solids floating in it, while clarified butter is clear and uniform.
There are two ways of making ghee. It can be made from Curd which is the best way to do it. The other way is to make it from the cream. The latter isn't the best way.
I make my own ghee and try to get all the solids out before cooking with it. I love it. I also use it as a lubricant for jar lids that get stuck and as a skin moisterizer in small quantities.
Thank you RandomloserDK for the clarification. I mostly use the butter because I like the flavor the best.😄
@@drekberg Me to, but I also make clarified butter and tallow.
Tallow is impossible to buy in stores here in Denmark.
@@RandomloserDK Fortunately, I am able to buy 5-lb or 50-lb units of coarsely ground beef suet from a family owned grass-fed ranch about an hour down the road.
My best cooking oils as below..
1.Cold pressed Coconut Oil
2.Blended Physically Refined Rice Bran Oil (80%) with Cold Pressed sesame Oil(20%)
I found your channel 2 weeks ago Dr. Ekberg and i have been watching several video's a day, your content is so amazingly detailed and well presented. I have been practicing a keto diet for 5 days, and just tested my urine and found a high ketone content. Im transitioning from eating take out and fast food for every meal to cooking and paying attention to what i put into my body all because of you! Thank you so much.
_Give credit where it is due, love. The sharing of (his) knowledge may have served as catalyst, but, dearest one, it is IN YOUR WILL TO LIVE that you are implementing these helpful changes. Each time you choose what to eat, you are showing you respect yourself. Take time to meditate (perhaps you have a favorite chair) on "my will to live". Understand that without the will to live, the body immediately dies, while even the sickest body will survive if the mind has the will to further be of service on this planet. Your enthusiasm is uplifting. Cheers to you._
@@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858 that's very interesting
theres actually studies from all the way back in the 60s 70s that back up this video. very thorough and over 5 years of very controlled testing feeding people food cooked with oil and the other half were fed with beef tallow, the beef tallow people didnt develop heart diseases or cholesterol or anything. opposed to the oils people which got really sick.
They also didn't eat a lot of grains. Grains wrecked havoc on the Egyptians with heart disease and poor dental hygiene.
Cholesterol btw is not deadly, it's absolutely essential for humans in the development of cells and hormones.
I just bought a bottle of flaxseed oil because the label shows a high percentage of omeg 3. So I will keep it in fridge and only use it in salad.
You can also add a bit to a bulletproof coffee. :)
Thank you Adam. Good thinking. Freezer is even better if you're not going to finish it in a couple of weeks.😄
Although it has an abundance of omega-3, it is not in the form. Our body must convert it into a usable form. Which is another rational reason to chuck the bottle.
Adam I just bought one too. Not expired or rancid, just didn't like the flavour. Kind of like maybe motor oil.
Flaxseed has ALA omega 3 which cannot be easily converted into the omega 3 you get from fish. Although it is good for damaged nerves from diabetes.
Please advise me about Mustard oil is it healthy or unhealthy while cooking meat?
Simply the best analysis on cooking oil, period! Eye-opening and shocking at the same time.
I liked your video - very informative. However
1. Could you please analyse Rice bran oil, groundnut oil, sesame (gingely) oil, palm oil, sunflower oil.
2. Could you please clarify if cold pressed oil & physically refined oil are one & the same?
only use olive oil, cold pressed virgin. canola and corn is the worst, avoid the rest also.
Thank you I am going to start my intermittent fasting( I did it for two weeks and I love it) i ate some peeps and reese eggs, but now i am ready, thank i love you so much, you are awesome!!😇🥑🌲🐾🌻🐞🦗🥥🥬
Thank you Teresa B. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
I can agree with these findings just based on cooking being on keto. The primary oils we use are coconut and butter. Ghee is just too expensive for what it is. When we do fry we use lard and discard. Did learn quite a bit from this though... a person I watch mentioned frequently how he doesn't like vegetable oils, or soybean because it made him swell and sick - and this video explained why.
You can make your own ghee from butter my family does that we don’t buy ghee.
I really do love me some flaxseed oil. If I get the fresh, sealed, and refrigerated ones. I used to take it straight to get more omega 3's and I actually enjoyed the taste as long as I got the smaller bottle so I'd finish it before it loses too much of the freshness. My favorite use of it is to make vinaigrette for my salads. So tasty.
Sorry, I know you are talking about using the oils for cooking, but my fingers were itching to type something.
Haha same, love if for salad dressings
I love it when videos like this bring the science and not just "do this and don't do this because I said so" or "studies show" without references. Thank you Dr. Eckberg!
Hi doctor Ekberg. I hope we can do live chat one day. Thank you for the giving us valuable information all the time.
You are welcome pixsie doll. It was my pleasure 😄
a square meter of palm oil plantation can produce 350 gram of oil, while a square meter of rapeseed plantation can produce only 70 gram of oil and a square meters of soy just about 40 gram of soy oil. so replacing palm oil means, more land to clean to produce the same amount of palms oil
I made butter last weekend with a half gallon of whipping cream and go almost 2 pounds of butter. I will be making the other half-gallon this weekend and turning it into Ghee! Thanks so much, Dr. Sten!!!
Well done.
Oh! Wonderful! 😍
Excellent video. First one I think I've seen that actually talks about how terrible Canola is. I unfortunately live amongst too many industrial, corporate farmers (Central Canada) and they all grow Canola these days. Aside from the refinement and GMO seeds, they SOAK these fields in a cornucopia of toxic chemicals spring, summer, and fall. Sickening that anybody is dumb enough to believe this is a 'health' product (it's not a 'food'). I haven't touched margarine or Canola oil for 20 years and avoid a product if Canola is on the ingredients list, which is happening more and more lately. I will also have to toss the Avocado oil I have been getting from Costco. We mainly use organic butter anyways. This video should be shown in elementary schools and again in high school.
I make my own lard with backfat from Mangalista Pigs which are pasture raised. If you haven't heard of that breed of pig they are considered the Waygu version of the pork world. Nothing like what is sold in stores.
Thank you Jennifer McLaughlin. Sounds awesome.😄
I rendered some pork fat last night...i’m going to look for a source of pasture raised pigs
