#1 "Coconut oil produced the lowest levels of the harmful chemicals." If that isn't a vegetable oil, what is? "Scientists now recommending avoidance of cooking with certain vegetable oils" just doesn't make the same catchy headline.

#2 I wonder who funded this research.

#3 This "research" is total nonsense on a par with climate lysenkoism.

Frying with Olive Oil is a total disaster. It denatures in heat far more than rape-seed/canola oil does. As does coconut oil, leave that to stick on your skin/hair (it kills athletes foot and dandruff nicely).

Butter has a very low smoke point.

Whoever wrote this "research" has never been in a kitchen.

#4 Not sure that the research and the headline were written by the same person.

Smoke point is often a good gauge of when to put the food in the pan.

#7 Cooking with vegetable oils releases toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other diseases, according to new research

Exposure to sunlight is 'scientifically' known to lead to skin cancer. Of course, lacking sunlight and its generation of vitD leads to other life threatening problems.

#8 Oxygen is a carcinogen.

#9 Coconuts and olives are fruit, not vegetables. Dunno what that means to the research. Just sayin'.

#10 Mullet (Lisa) is required to be deep fat fried in lard.

#11 Maybe it's a typical meal of fish and chips that should be banned.

#12 From Sleeper:

Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.

#13 Haven't heard that coconut oil denatures in heat. There isn't much in it chemically that is able to denature in heat, it's all saturated fat. Have a citation for that?

#14 If the GIVERnment stopped paying for people's healthcare they could stop worrying about what people put in their frying pans and what free citizens put in their bodies.
