Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast.

Where Dr. Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing

healthy weight.

Let's talk about how tallow, beef fat can potentially help you lose weight.

Before Crisco came around, tallow was the most popular fat to cook with.

People use it in recipes, soups and stews, and then comes Crisco.

For 97 years, Crisco was promoted as something that was healthier than this saturated fat.

Even though it was a trans fat made from a vegetable oil, I think it was cotton seed oil.

So they took this cotton seed oil, put it in a high heat with aluminum to make it

hydrogenated thicker and it was promoted as a healthy thing for a very long time.

And then in 1970, there was a big emphasis with this food pyramid in relationship between

saturated fat equals heart disease.

And so there's been this mission to get everyone to replace their saturated fats with

these seed oils, the Omega-6 fatty acid, highly inflammatory, highly oxidative oils which

actually create heart disease.

And then in 1970, the food pyramid came out and said that saturated fats are now the cause

of heart disease.

So we can now, again, switch to seed oils.

In fact, the truth is, seed oils create a tremendous amount of oxidation, whereas saturated

fats are very stable.

And so it's really the seed oils that have created this.

It's really the trans fats that have been creating the heart disease.
