Is Beef Tallow A Good Fat To Cook With?

The latest Dietary Guidelines issued by the government promote beef tallow as a healthy fat choice. This was a surprising recommendation because it is loaded with saturated fat, which has been shown to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke consistently in the research literature. 

Healthier sources of fat have been shown to actually decrease risk of heart disease and stroke. These include olive oil, canola oil, nuts, seeds and avocados. These are the fats you should be choosing.
