I read a great summary on why these oils marketed as heart healthy are the complete opposite. Please take a few minutes to read the linked thread below if you want to improve your health.

Great history lessons on the process of oils. Thank you.
I also saw a great article on types of butters last week. The European butter and only a few American Butters have 82% plus butter fat. We Switched to Plugra last week, what a difference.
Crisco cans only have one use (after cleaned) storing extra bacon fat which I use for cooking.
Last week and this week Acme in Medford has it on sale for $3.29 for 1/2 lb. I have seen it in Shop Rite, Sprouts, and Whole Foods. Also, Kerrygold Irish butter is another go to.
While Pulgra is 82% it is made with conventional cream from grain fed cow. It has a European sounding name, but is domestic. Unfortunately, it also used added flavourings to mimic that of real cultured butter. A better bet is to look for grassfed instead. Organic Valley has a good one at 84%, and there is the popular Kerry Gold(Go for their unsalted. It’s 100% grassfed and 84% vs the 82% of their salted.)
I bought a product by Nutiva to use in place of Crisco. The ingredients are organic palm fruit oil, organic unrefined virgin coconut oil, organic unrefined red palm oil. Is palm fruit oil unhealthy? Good article on the origin of seed oils. Thank you!
Great information and thank you, Dr H.! I’ve read and learned about the bad oils but always positive to read again to make sure I’m following truth.

Palm oil is not used that much in my area so I have not dig deep on it yet.
Ok, thanks for the reply.
Outstanding article.
The same scenario happening to add Fluoride to our drinking water.
