I think it's imperative to distinguish between the essential food product and its processing! If you buy fats/oils in a form that has stable shelf-life, it may be damaged. Concerning this list...
> Foods Associated With Cancer Risk > 1.. Fat, smoked, and cured meat - Harmful nitrites and nitrates. > 2.. Butter, cream, high-fat cheeses - Non-essential saturated fat. > 3.. Margarine and commercial oils - Harmful compounds. > 4.. Vegetable shortening - Hydrogenated vegetable oils > 5.. Tropical oils-palm and coconut - Non-essential. 4 & 5 aren't about oils at all--they're about the hydrogenation process, which turns any oil into a tool of mass population-reduction. Raw butter & cream are actually *medicinal,* and raw cheeses are concentrated sources of thousands of different strains of friendly bacteria. Only rarified, industrialized products merit such one-dimensional critique. > Notice #5; coconut oil is a no-no here, yet Mary Enig et al champions it as > an anti-cancer agent. It is this kind of disagreement among alternative > health practitioners that leaves one wondering. Raw coconut oil? There was a HUGE thread about coconut's anti-microbial properties some time ago. The lists harps on "saturated fat." Cancer was unknown among Eskimos whie their diet was up to 90% fat, in the form of RAW whale blubber, etc. Even the word "eskimo" means 'eats it raw.' --Russ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
