What worries me about animal fats is their tendency to accumulate
toxic chemicals. This is new and was not a problem in my grandfathers
time. Added to this are the use of nitrates and other chemicals to
preserve meats.... Two unknowns that are difficult to factor into
the health picture.
Another new development are fats such as cotton seed oil and canola.
Canola is our creation and the initial releases did cause health
problems. They went back and adjusted the "rape" seed and today
we believe it is safe.
