Try not to eat too much pig, but darn I love bacon!!

Pig fat is still better than vegetable oil....

no, i am in no way confused. "google" hydrogenated lard... read the article in the link i posted in #717.... http://www.wisegeek....enated-lard.htm
there are many articles on it. cooking oils does not hydrogenate them.. it causes chemical degradation and oxydation... the creation of hydroperoxids and aldehydes (toxins).

Pure Lard is not always pig fat, and if you are uncomfortable using Lard that may hsve pig fat, you can get Lard from chickens, geese, ducks, and cow, ect. Probably look for kosher lard in some stores.

We have Bear fat from like 60 years ago, still in our fridge. It was shot by my hubby's Grampa a long time ago and it can be rendered and made pure again.

yes i am familiar with the other lards or fats.... anything wild or grass fed is a healthier choice by far!
and yes i will have a slice or two of ham on THANKSGIVING. its not a sin against God to eat it. simpley a sin against your body. and may help you get to MEET HIM SOONER!... lol

If the truth must be known, we should all just save the fat from the chicken and beef, and better yet the goose and duck fat IS the Best, from what I have read, and pour the hot grease from the pan into a jar and save to render it later. This practice of saving the grease in a pot was done for hundreds of years. why are we throwing out the best part anyway??

Koi Guy, read that article written by who??

Saturated animal fat is good they agree and does not turn to the bad trans fat when re-heated repeatedly. That is all most people will understand.

Save all the saturated fats from the meat of your choice, and render yourself. I still buy the pound of pure lard because is not chemically changed and does no have the bad trans fat.

colleen... you said "i was cofused" I am not. that "i should look it up" ..i did.you said cooking oils hydrogenates them...it does not. as far as who wrote that article... the "wisegeek" did. but it doesnt really matter..theres 100 more saying the same thing. i just answered your questions and contridictions to what i posted. cooking oils doesnt create transfats either...it causes oxydation of the oil creating hydroperoxidds, and aldehydes.
as far as transfats:... Small amounts of trans fats occur naturally in beef, lamb, and full-fat dairy products. But most come from processing (hydrogenating) liquid vegetable oil to become a solid fat.
i will read any articles you can find that contradict what i posted... i'm open minded and willing to learn. if i am wrong i would like to know.

The trans fat from animals is very small and naturally occurring. Those trans fats are different.

Re-heating vegetable oils does create very bad trans fats and does cause hydrogenation. That is what I know from what I have heard on news and read in my books.

Animal fats are different and I have still never ever heard of Hydrogenated Butter or Lard. I have only seen the two types of "lard" on the store selves, the one from Vegetable oil is call Shorting here, and the other from animals is called "Pure Lard" Only the Vegetable SHorting is the one that is Hydrogenated and turned to bad trans fats.

Maybe some countries call vegetable shorting "lard" but here we call it vegetable shorting, not "Lard". We call animal fat "Lard" Lots of people confuse this....

If you can get Goose or duck grease, that is the best.

 

[callingcolleen1]

There is lots to read on trans fats, and many experts will tell you trans fats from animals are very good. You however could also find so called experts to tell you the the hydrogened vegetable oil is healthy.....

I have other problems at the moment... I am finding out some of the side effects to botox....

Hubby is making fun of my "frozen for head" and pretending his whole face is froze... he makes me laugh!!!

Ha ha ha hahahaha

See, it does say that bad trans fats can be created in highly polyunsaturated oils by some deep friers that "pressure deep fry" and that is what I was talking about. Animal fat still the best for deep frying cause these bad trans fats never form when you deep fry like they do in vegetable oils...

Ok I went to the store today and bought this. It was the only lard they had. Did I buy the wrong kind cuz I noticed it says added Hydrogenated stuff to it. It's got some kind of preservative in it. I think I goofed.

 

[koiguy1969]

yup,, its got hydrogenated lard in it..it doesnt say how much tho. what percentage? google it.

 

[callingcolleen1]

Weird, never saw that stuff here. ours does not have anything hydrogenated, mine is just pure lard and nothing but....

What is listed in the ingredients?

 

[j.w]

Does not say anywhere on what the % of anything except what is on that nutrition label. No ingredient list except what it says on the front about it being Snow Cap Lard w/hydrogenated lard w/BHT & BHA. I did a search and found this:

http://www.foodfacts.com/NutritionFacts/Shortening/Morrell-Snow-Cap-Lard-16-oz/42440

Guess it will be going back to the store and I will look for the kind that says pure lard w/ none of that other junk in it.
