Nobody using goose or duck??
Animal fats (from properly raised and fed sources) are way healthier than any trans fats or hydrogenated wanna be oils. So there's that.Bacon fat can't be healthy?

I do! Potatoes and potato products (like gnocci) are almost exclusively fried in duck of goose fat in my house. Once you go duck fat there's just no going back...Nobody using goose or duck??
Yeah there's several issues. First of all the scientific opinion on 'animal fats' and saturated fats has largely been reversed over the last few years. Another issue is that a lot of the things that make certain oils (like EVOO) healthy at room temperature aren't stable at higher temperatures and a health bonus becomes more of a health malus. That's an issue with a lot of the unsaturated fats in general; a lot of them actually don't do well at high temperatures.Animal fats (from properly raised and fed sources) are way healthier than any trans fats or hydrogenated wanna be oils. So there's that.
Jovidah, I know what you mean that there is little scientific concensus in the world of nutritional sciences and that opinions among experts constantly change. Long story short, we don't know as much as we think we do in terms of healthy/unhealthy fats and their long terms effects.
For me though, if it comes from an American source I treat is as more or less false information. Too many huge agricultural/pharma lobbies actively sway nutritional sciences behind the scenes over there.
So far,it doesn't look like there are to many fans/users, of Avacado oil.
In Denmark it's incredibly expensive.
In Canada, tooIn Denmark it's incredibly expensive.
Same here; that stuff is like 40 euros per liter. It's one of those typical hipsteroils that's only sold by treehugger-shops. It's the kind of stuff vegan delusionals throw on their salads along with agave syrup 'because they don't eat sugar'....In Denmark it's incredibly expensive.
Haha, looks like we were reading at the same time. Yeah sounds like they're actually using at least part of the flesh, so it's not a pure waste product.Never used avocado oil, but a quick Googling reveals that it's made from the pulp, with the pit and skin removed. The pulp is pressed, and then run through a centrifuge to draw out the oil and water. Final step is recovering the oil floating on top of the water.
So it isn't waste product. Considering how little "oil" is actually in the pulp, compared to some other sources, it might help to explain the high cost (along with hipster inflation). I'm still not very interested in trying it, since the oils I use are working fine. Not sure what I'd actually use it for?
If you are buying avocado oil for health benefits, you might as well just eat a damn avocado.
I see. lol,it might be expensive here in the States too but since my wife brought it home and won't tell me what she paid for it,I have no idea. Maybe she doesn't want me to know,do you think?
