Tell me about some horribly unhealthy things you can do at home in cooking so I don't do them. I just fried eggs in bacon fat because I made bacon before those I and I'm wondering how cholesteroltastic they are, but I don't want to not eat the eggs.
Not a slop thread but whatever
you literally did what a normal human being does
are you a recovering vegan or something?
No, just don't do it normally so I had no point of reference. I'm very health conscious so it just seemed like sacreligious in retrospect I guess. I wouldn't know if it's super bad for you.
You know for a fact you can't say something like that and NOT expect me to be curious, anon
Love potato gratin, lots of cheese though. I'm trying to figure out how to make these lemon potatoes my mom used to make.
>I'm very health conscious
if this were the 1980s maybe that would be true
Well, suit yourself, but be warned it has TONs of flavor
Sweet baby Jesus, yeah you'll weigh in tons of flavor eating shit like that, eugh.
Probably a very complex taste, that.
Sorry anon, ever since the dessert ramen debacle I have become revolted at the mere thought of discussing unhealthy food.
>dessert ramen
looked it up in the archives...
Wished I hadn't.
9 years ago, but I understand. The "Drain flies" anon was only slightly more disturbing.
>OVER 20 lbs. of FLAVOR!
That empty bowl at the end...
Anon...I...I...
I can't...
Is it somehow not normal to cook food in lard?
I've been doing that for decades.
I make a potato gratin that might actually kill you, but it's worth the risk.
I've been away at a cottage so Ive been eating lots of snack foods. Wouldn't recommend
>I just fried eggs in bacon fat because I made bacon before those I and I'm wondering how cholesteroltastic they are, but I don't want to not eat the eggs.
I can kind of unnerstan' why the belief this is unhealthy is so rampant--Advertising has been shoving it down your throat for longer than you were born.
The unhealthiest thing you could eat would probably be a big bowl of Glyphosate soaked, HFCS sprayed, artificial color and flavored cereal, with a side of Glyphosate soaked white bread,(with sucralose added, of course,) toasted,"Buttered" with Margarine, and a hot mug of flavored Keurig "Coffee" pissed into your morning mug from a heated plastic pod.
Eat those eggs... The bacon isn't going to kill you, nor clog up your arteries. I don't know WHY people don't know that it's the damage from sugars and toxins that actually is causing the arterial plaque by the body trying to heal the damage itself,(actually, I do--There's a LOT of munny invested in keeping the subsidies gravy train going, and the Pharma drugs rolling out like candy.)Your brain is mostly made of cholesterol, and it is fueled exclusively by Glucose,(when it's healthy.)
If you are eating healthy and as clean as you can get foods as possible, your body will tell you when you are full, when you need to eat, and what you need more of through cravings.
Today's modern diet has hijacked all that in persuit of "Better tasting, bigger sales for cheaper costs"
Never be afraid of eating the foods your Great-great grandfather would've had access to.
Truly, those are the only foods you should be eating.

Hmm, yeah I'm always super careful about my sugar, salt, and fat intake, but ignorant about the cholesterol. I almost never touch soda anymore and I kind of hate most normal cereal, it legit makes me feel sick and I can't finish a bowl big enough to be fed off of. I don't know how people eat it every day. It's like eating dog food with all the health benefits of eating a slice of cake.
>yeah I'm always super careful about my sugar, salt, and fat intake, but ignorant about the cholesterol.
As long as you don't have any major health issues, Normal amounts of these things aren't any sort of problem.
Even a decent cereal, (organic is best these days, but still NO GUARANTEE,) like oatmeal, or even shredded wheat in whole milk isn't horrible occasionally.
Good on ya for reading those labels, you HAVE to do it it every time you buy now.
Are you trying for any specific diet related result?
Thanks anon, I try.
>Are you trying for any specific diet related result?
Nah, I've just been in good shape most of my life so I really don't want to fuck it up. First it's just a little more, then it's a lot more, you know? All my brothers are fuckin fat except for me.
Checked and kek'd
>First it's just a little more, then it's a lot more, you know?
Oh yeah. I'm the only one left in my family who isn't obese too. I even have one family member who's in food science. I find it weird that they don't notice that even though I eat all kinds of high calorie, totally "BAD for you" foods and never touch anything that has "Diet" chems in it or seed oils, they still don't make the connection.
I've given up trying to TELL them anything. But when I do visit, I have to be vigilant about what I eat there since most all of it is laden with that toxic crap.
It's probably better than most vegetable oils
Also you can save bacon fat if you strain it
>Cholesterol
You mean based on that study where herbivore rabbits got heart problems from eating animal fats like the predators they are not?
It's more like I heard "cholesterol bad" but also "actually some cholesterol good" and I'm thinking "I don't know but maybe it's bad for you? I like eggs." I didn't bother to check.
There is no robust data suggesting that dietary cholesterol = LDL cholesterol, and there is no robust data suggesting that non-oxidized LDL cholesterol = atherosclerosis.
Butter, red meat and bacon fat will not clog your arteries. Soybean oil, which is in fucking everything, will.
Good thing most of my diet is lacking in oil in general then. Let's see them put soybean oil in my vegetables, normal beans or tuna.
I lol and lmao at the slop industry
That's good. I was always wary of bacon I just refused to stop eating eggs, love em.
So I think I'm good on that front, thankfully. Thank you egg!
Dude one of them legit eats one plate of pizza rolls with a mountain of chips every fucking day and I'm like "how do you survive". Then he adds bbq sauce with that I'm like jesus christ man STOP.
Man's average plate is more orange than the fruit itself.
if you have canned fish it's usually suspended in oil. if you still want to continue eating it you can remove most of it using a paper towel
Not him but I only buy canned fish in water, not oil, because when it's oil it's almost always soybean oil or fake olive oil, meaning soybean oil.
A lot of the recipes involve a dressing with oil, so you might just as well buy the oily fish and drain it somewhat
Most say so on the can, I do clean it out best I can before hand if I can't get the one that's just suspended in water.
This
Combine that with high levels of fructose,(not inherently evil, just WAY too much, and at the wrong time of year,) and the constant barrage of gut killing chems,(sucralose and glyphosate,) and you have yourself a good medical client for the rest of their days!
Anon, cholesterol is vital. High levels of cholesterol is not unhealthy. Damaged and new tissue uses cholesterol, cholesterol balances your hormones, its used in testosterone production. Your cells are literally made of it. Its a fucked up lie that has persisted since the 70s and plagued public health that cholesterol is somehow bad. If you want to eat bacon and eggs every day there is literally nothing wrong with that.
There is no robust data suggesting saturated fat causes atherosclerosis:

https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/4/4/e004487
What causes atherosclerosis is, instead, oxidized LDL cholesterol, which you get by eating oxidized fats, meaning the polyunsaturated fats found in common vegetable oils such as soybean oil which are literally rancid by the time you purchase them due to the high heat used in the process of making them:
https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/health/a-lifelong-fight-against-trans-fat.html
https://www.vanderbilt.edu/olli/class-materials/Nutrition_Immunity_Spr21_Session4.pdf
Saturated fat was the primary fat source for humans for thousands of years, yet heart disease was almost unheard of until humans started eating vegetable oils.
ApoB is by far the best marker for athlosclerosis
One of the things ApoB carries, is cholesterol
That means at some point, too much cholesterol will become athlosclerotic
Same thing with too many carbs though
This theory is still assuming that it is LDL cholesterol in general, not oxidized LDL cholesterol specifically, which causes heart disease.
I can understand why some studies have come to the conclusion that LDL cholesterol = heart disease, as, assuming most people have a similar ratio of oxidized to non-oxidized LDL cholesterol, then yeah, higher LDL cholesterol is gonna mean higher heart disease rates.
It's just that like half of people with heart disease don't even have high LDL cholesterol and again, people were pounding saturated fat like it was going out of style for thousands of years while heart disease was almost non-existent, then after that the heart disease rate increased in lockstep with the rate of vegetable oil consumption.
Fat is good for you.
Carbohydrate over a rather low threshold is not.
You can identify all of the Americans in this thread because they all have literally no idea what is healthy or not. I swear, the processed food oligarchs over there have absolutely melted the average American's mind when it comes to what they should be eating.
Well why don't you tell us what's what, then?
it's not just an american thing, and it's not the fault of the oligarchs, but retards who buy into conspiracy schizo shit like sneed oils being toxic or like carnivore diets being how we're """meant""" to eat.
There are people on this board who will genuinely refute that eating vegetables is healthy.
>conspiracy schizo shit like sneed oils being toxic
i see alzheimers has already settled in in this one
>Checked and Kek'd
Well with namefagging a name like "Stumpgrinder", you have to wonder.
His name is really 微小的...or Tony

>OxLDL is thought to play an important role in atherosclerosis formation; however, it is the oxidised linoleic acid contained in LDL that leads to harmful OXLAMs, which induces atherosclerosis and CHD. Thus, reducing the amount of dietary linoleic acid, mainly from industrial vegetable/seed oils, will reduce the amount of linoleic acid in LDL and likely reduce oxLDL as well as the risk for CHDcoronary heart disease.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3315351/
>Generally, polyunsaturated fatty acids favor the oxidation of LDL while monounsaturated fatty acids are less conducive to its formation
Most seed oils are heated to 500F for 30 minutes during the process of making them. This renders them literally rancid, as polyunsaturated fat is very unstable and prone to oxidation. They then undergo a deodorizing process so the consumer cannot tell they are rancid.
Rancid oil is literally, factually and objectively toxic.
Bacon fat is excellent for cooking eggs and damn near everything else.
After you cook bacon you should strain the grease through cheese cloth into a mason jar.
Then you can cook with it just like butter or oil ... but so much better.
eating cholesterol does not translate to high cholesterol.
How do you get high cholesterol?
too much fat, especially saturated fat. "too much" is going to vary individually, of course. eating a lot of sugar together with sat. fat. probably lowers the threshold for how much is "too much"
