When it comes to choosing an oil or fat for cooking your food, you'd be forgiven for thinking sunflower oil may be a healthier alternative to lard.

But recent research has shown that lard and other animal fats may not be deserving of their unhealthy reputation.

In fact, using these more old fashioned methods when frying, instead of using sunflower oil, could reduce our risk of heart disease and cancer.

I have said this since becoming ill
I don't think I have enough fat in my diet and I remembered as a child when everything was cooked in lard.
Makes you think!

It really doesn't help people when they banish one food then another and then tell you it's good for you a deal adequate later when you are now eating ghte wrong thing! I will just eat what I want and do it in moderation
