Coco oil? It's high in saturated fats!

They say with low smoking point it burns easily and turns into some cancer causing stuff called carcinogens.

Dont eat BBQ people !!!!

Sunflower oil. High smoke pt, low sat fat.

Avoid any hydrogenated oil stuff (vegetable oils).

So what?

Just sayin

DeadVim

I get it.

Shall we talk about cholesterol now? Those eggs will kill me, I swear.

Good job we've got statins to keep this problem under control, good work pharmaceutical (yeh, I looked up the spelling) dudes.

Got to say, I used to love butter on my toast but it wreaked havoc with my cholesterol levels.

DeadVim

But, consider this :

1) Is the "high" cholesterol level really that high?

and what if it doesn't matter because:

2) What if 'high' cholesterol was found in CVD patients because it was trying to repair the damage, not causing it?

TiddlyPom

Far too sensible a post Vim. Get a grip, lad.

brissybee

Ok, I'll play the silly game... how does high cholesterol fix CVD?

I'm sincerely interested to know if high bad cholesterol can be a cure for anything. (I do miss my buttery toast breakfast.)

When it's your time to die, you die.

DeadVim

Hey, it's just a "silly game", ignore what I posed as food (ha!) for thought and enjoy your dry toast.

brissybee

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was just being flippant. I wasn't even being unAustralian. Not even pro-British. Didn't even say cricket sucks no matter where the ashes end up.

Just wanted to know s all.

I though eggs had been taken off the "villain" list too, and you were allowed one a day. Same reason - yes they put up overall cholesterol, but mainly because they raise the "good" cholesterol.

Let's talk about microwaves. I don't trust them.
