List of restaurants switching to beef tallow for fries: RFK Jr. says it's healthier, is it?

[Happy Hoosier]

5. I can only speak for myself....

I stopped using seed oild when I was diagnosed with T2D. I also dratically cut carbohydrates.

My dietician told me that PUFAs (a type of fat that is prevalent in seed oils) can cause an inflamatory reponse, which combined with high insulin levels in a diabetic, could cause Fatty Liver Disiease, and possibly oxidation of LDL cholestoerol in a way that can contribute to arterial plaques.

She cited some contemporary studies demonstrating that Saturated fats (animal fats), were better for diabetics, and associated with lower heart disease rates IF the diabebtic was also restricting carbohydrate intake.

Dunno if that helps. So, in my experience, beef tallow CAN be better for you in SOME circumstances, but not necessarily all circumstances.
