Anti-obesity effect of a traditional Chinese dietary habit—blending lard with vegetable oil while cooking

@dendricide Maybe she read this study, idk https://t.co/KE5xKbyI4x

@anabology @sixers2772 3/4 The one interesting paper is https://t.co/Ez9LVATKtg which sadly suffers from a lack of gas chromatography, ie we have no idea of the PUFA intake from “lard oil” in China.

In one mouse study, a mix of soybean oil and lard outperformed either alone, producing more leanness. This results reached statistical significance in a 25% fat group, but was only a trend in the 20% fat group. (SO: soybean, LO: lard, BO: mixed). https://

@allthenastiesss @OwenPope13 @RomanianLiberal This study discusses a traditional Chinese dietary habit of mixing lard with vegetable oil and then shows that it has a protective effect on obesity in mice. These traditional habits are being lost. https://t.c
