  • I see your point, thanks for the insight! Did you base your reply on the abstract or the full article, because they do specify “vegetable” oil. Also, in their defence, they not only state that they only intended to show a correlation instead of a causal effect, and even add that:

    we only found the relationship between the cooking oil type and cardiovascular health in the elderly over 65 years old in China, and could not explain the reason.





  • Well you can find quite a few scientific studies saying exactly what I’ve said. I agree that plant based oils are not all the same though.

    Just one example:

    3918 of those who cooked with vegetable/gingili oil had ASCVD, and 249 of those who cooked with lard/other animal fat oils had ASCVD. The prevalence of ASCVD in vegetable/gingili oil users (31.68%) was higher than that in lard/other animal fat oil users (17.46%). Compared with lard/other animal fat users, the multivariate-adjusted model indicated that vegetable oil/sesame oil users were significantly associated with a higher risk of ASCVD (OR = 2.19; 95%CI, 1.90-2.53). Our study found that cooking with lard/other animal fat oil is more beneficial to cardiovascular health in older Chinese.

  • I suggest you ask a woman who has been raped whether she agrees that it should be compared to a cow’s artificial insemination.

    Everyone is so keen on resorting to the worst possible choice of words, with the end result being that they lose all meaning and its use shits on those who’ve actually gone true it. Perhaps you should think about that before you next try to signal your virtues.


  • “Feast on the eventual child!”

    I eat meat, but I try to lower my intake and make the right choices as to it’s origins, as I detest the horrible practices that happen. But man, these over the top descriptions just to create an emotional reaction are so ridiculous. They’re no different from the anti abortion crowd yelling baby murder. If you have to resort to these sorts of arguments, you’re really doing yourself and what you stand for a disservice.

    Lastly, to answer your question, it’s the same reason there’s a difference between murder and involuntary manslaughter. Intent is a very important factor when we judge someone’s actions.


  • I don’t see how intent is relevant, to someone using Celsius, 40 degrees is hot because they’re used to that, that’s the only thing that matters. Besides, when it comes to body temperature, Celsius is a lot closer than Fahrenheit. Not to mention “it’s freezing outside” in Celsius is actually sub zero, and not a number close to your body temperature as it is in Fahrenheit.
