[03:01] IsambardPrince And of course Vani Hari is in RFK Jr.'s orbit too now.

[03:01] MinceR lol [03:02] IsambardPrince She was never able to explain this and eventually deleted it after being laughed at so much. [03:02] MinceR don't MAGATs love hitler anyway? [03:03] IsambardPrince Trump keeps Hitler's speeches in the nightstand. [03:03] IsambardPrince According to one of his green card sham marriage wives anyway. [03:06] IsambardPrince I fry in canola whenever I'm frying something. Vegetable Oil works too, but canola is more consistent and has a better fatty acid profile, and a more neutral flavor and a slightly higher smoke point. So it's ideal for frying things like the chicken while watching your saturated fats, and having it taste like what you seasoned it with more than the oil you used. It's also loaded with Omega-3s and Omega-6s. [03:07] IsambardPrince So I actually have the data in real time you know, because I'm on a statin drug, not a high dose, but I've noticed that when I fry things in canola my bad cholesterol and triglycerides are a lot lower, and my good cholesterol is higher than when I fry in certain other oils. [03:09] IsambardPrince Per tablespoon, canola has half the saturated fat that soybean oil (vegetable oil is soybean oil in most cases) per serving, so it's better on the heart, but both are better than frying in tallow or lard of course. [03:11] IsambardPrince Canola is sort of new on the scene because they couldn't figure out how to lower the erucic acid content to an acceptable level for food use until the 1980s. [03:11] IsambardPrince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erucic_acid [03:11] TR Bot Erucic acid - Wikipedia [03:11] IsambardPrince So erucic acid is toxic in huge amounts. And in rapeseed oil that isn't processed to be low erucic acid, it's only suitable for industrial uses. [03:12] IsambardPrince Which is where that doctor got his claim that it was a machine oil in WWII, they could make tons of the stuff but they couldn't turn it into a safe food product at the time. [03:14] IsambardPrince So his claim was true, before 1986, but he's making that claim on his YouTube channel last week. [03:15] IsambardPrince And of course he goes into fluoride toxicity. How if you put it in the water at 500% of the amount that most water supplies use, you could _begin_ to see some negative effects. [03:15] IsambardPrince But nobody in America is actually doing THAT. [03:16] IsambardPrince Then he pivots, to prove that "canola is bad" by going to a KFC and getting a worker to admit they fry stuff in the same oil and strain it for a week and have the fryers on every day before draining it. Yes, that's a problem. Corporations are cheap, so they overuse the oil and sell you a $40 bucket of chicken you could have made in virgin canola at home for $10. [03:17] IsambardPrince Any oil that has been heated for 60-80 hours in a fryer and cooking hundreds of chickens is going to be bad by the time they drain it out. [03:18] IsambardPrince They wait until they cannot possibly use that oil anymore. [03:19] IsambardPrince He then continues by recommending unfiltered coffee from a French press, which is how you get 200x the Diterpenes in your coffee as if you use drip coffee through a paper filter that costs 1 cent each. Diterpenes drive up bad cholesterol and triglycerides and lower your good cholesterol. [03:20] IsambardPrince Then my mom loves this guy because he recommends a steady diet of meat and butter. In case the diterpenes don't get you I guess. [03:22] *nobody has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [03:22] IsambardPrince He says we need to eat like this because that's how primal humans that lived for 20-30 years and beat and raped 15 year old girls because there were no laws back then saying you couldn't, lived. [03:22] IsambardPrince Which is always a compelling argument I guess. [03:22] IsambardPrince Meat and butter me, bitches! [03:25] IsambardPrince To make his argument more compelling, he will now take his shirt off and cook, I guess.
