Then we found out they were full of trans-fats, they one (and only) fat everyone agrees actually causes heart disease.
Now we're finding out these franken-oils made from beans and seeds using chemical to extract and reformulate the oils cause other problems.
They make big money for the companies producing them, but maybe the rest of us should wise up and go back to the oils and fats people have been using for thousands of years without any problems.
No particular reason. I just enjoy asking for it at the market.
Soy makes me sick.
Butter and olive oil may not be perfect, but they are all I use.
Most Mayonnaise products use that oil.
Peanut butter has it too.
So there’s something true about calling young wimpy males “soy boys?”
Soy is also full of phytoestrogens that can interfere with your own hormone function.
I have yet to discover a mayonnaise without soybean oil, that doesn’t taste completely disgusting.
Yes I’ve tried homemade. Same result. :(
There’s a whole ‘saga’ on the net about increased soy causing the younger males since the 90s to get more feminized. They’re called soyboys for that reason, which seems at least possible for the cause.
A friend raises heritage berkshire hogs, which he processes and sells in our local area by pre-booking. My family buys a bit of meat, but it turns out none of his customers want the lard, even though they have paid for it, so he gives it to me.
There is nothing healthier than cooking with organic, local, pig lard.
I use olive oil or Crisco.
Soy sauce is where I draw the line.
A little dab will do ya.
Soy is hard to avoid because it’s found in many processed foods. When I cook meat, I use olive oil, usually from Italy. I understand that it is best to buy olive oil from a single place or country.
I understand that chocolate can kill a dog. So we better stop eating chocolate too. /sarc
I’ve used canola for decades.
Back in the day fast food joints cooked french fries in lard. Now they use vegetable oil. The ones made with lard tasted a helluva lot better, If I recall.
Please, Big Brother, keep out of our kitchens, medicine
cabinets. Just mind your own business and stay outta my
yard!
So soybeans are now a NO
They’re not called soy boys for nothing.
Which is it this week? Do we take an aspirin a day or don’t we?
Enough already!
I’ve been studying this for years. It’s mainstream if on FR. They keep talking about “processed” foods without explaining. The biggest culprits are unexpected: salad dressing (anything that’s not olive oil) and mayonnaise (salad dressing on sandwiches, coleslaw and meat salads) are the two easiest things to eliminate from diet that make the biggest impact. Plus you need to add Omega-3, easy to do via walnuts, flaxseed and salmon.
Someone needs to update that famous "Lab" graphic to include a Soy Lab.
Dogs and cats living together. There you go. That's how these things happen.
