Beef Tallow's Return: Trend or Truth?


Listen Later

This week's we're xamining the surprising return of beef tallow as a popular ingredient in cooking and wellness and contrasting its health concerns against vegetable oils.

Is this trend driven by scientific evidence or a preference for "ancestral" and "natural" practices over established public health guidelines? There's been a historical shift away from saturated fats like tallow due to concerns about heart disease, noting that the science on the risks of high saturated fat intake remains consistent despite contradictory social media narratives.

We're also creating parallels between the comeback of tallow and that of raw milk. How much are these trends fueled by a desire for perceived traditional authenticity rather than proven safety or nutritional benefits? Listen to find out.
