Hi Everyone!

For what its worth, I stick to coconut oil or olive oil.  I was told by a
nutritional counselor who is helping me with my thyroid dilemma to avoid all
vegetable or seed  based oils, and use animal fat, butter, coconut or olive
oil.  Her 1st choice is coconut oil, because it stimulates the thyroid, and
also contains the anit-microbial lauric acid (also found in mother's
milk)..Her reason for avoiding flax, safflower, canola, evening primrose,
borage etc - they contain too many polyunsaturates, which create the
improper omega 3, omega 6 ratio, which in turn can lead to hormonal
imbalance (estrogen dominance,) ..... Coconut oil is extremely heat stable,
and great for browning and baking.  I use Spectrum, and I also use it for my
pemmican to cut the beef tallow ratio in half.

Cheers,

Judy Genova, cavegirl
