Can I cook with lard?
Commercial grade lards contain an unacceptably high amount of omega-6 fatty acids as well as trans fats. In an effort to reduce Omega 6 oil consumption I recommend that my patients cook and prepare foods with either COOC-certified extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil. However, as long as you are consuming the approved EVOO at the recommended daily dose it will protect you from the occasional use of other oils and fats used in cooking.
