I'll stick with the sardines. I can't digest spinach properly.

[fastbilly1]

Pephary's comparison to spinach in oil is fair, since the majority of sardines are sold in oil, specifically soybean. Though I would move away from coconut oil if possible. I know it is the trendy thing to use right now, but it is one of the worst for you cooking oils.

The research would beg to differ. Hydrogenated oil this is not. The smoke point is high. The extra virgin olive oil craze is the more dangerous as the smoke point is very low. That is best uncooked or on very low heat. The process for making seed or rapeseed oil makes those oils a bad choice.

My research lead it to be high in saturated and trans fat and LDLs, more so than the average olive oil (olive oils is ofcourse much higher in mono unsaturated). If I get a chance tonight I will gladly share with you my research, it is stored on a harddrive in my home office. Some of it is out of spec (ten years old), but the majority is still relevant and from the last seven years.

Try kale, cabbage, or broccoli then.

Kale is getting to be an issue too as I get older.

I think I'll just stick to eating meat.

Planters should make Cheese Balls again.

Yes. The ones sold in a huge tennis ball can were amazing.

I'll defend tuna again. I don't know anyone who went to a loony bin and the doctor said "Must have been the tuna". I know no dude with a bald head who said "The doc said I ate too much tuna". I know of no dude who said "Man I can't see. Too much tuna". Never heard "Man these headaches. Doctor said I should lay off the tuna".

I eat the 4 oz. Starkist and Wal*Mart "light tuna" brand in oil. Which does have soy in it, but like the tip of a needle amount of soy (I'm not a fan of soy). I ate a can of starkist just minutes ago.

I'm also a weird dude. I make spectacular dishes to make my wife happy and because I like to cook. Sometimes I eat for pleasure, but usually I eat so I won't pass out. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE food...but just in teeny tiny portions. If I eat a portion of food more than the size of my baled fist, 99% of the time I puke it up. Not on purpose, as far as I know. My body says "Oh no. Wayy too much Luke".

As far as the masturbation stuff goes...Eww. Let's leave that subject untouched.

Your research is quiet out of date. The trans fat scare in relation to coconut oil had to do with it being hydrogenated. Canola oil on the other hand has still been found to have trace amounts of trans-fats. The saturated fat part is true but not all fats are the same and new research has shown saturated fat on it's own is not as harmful as once thought.

What oil would you suggest then? I only use avocado, evo, coconut, and palm oil for the most part. Seasame seed oil for flavor in asian dishes but never cooked.

What oil would you suggest then?

Lard.

Just kidding. You should use butter because it tastes the best.

I'll one up and say ghee. Agreed butter can be better than a lot of cooking oils on the market.

My Bible study group is diverse in race, but not so much in age and they sometimes try to "cure" me with scripture.

For someone with a lot of posts talking about reading scripture and leading bible studies your understanding of the concept of temptation is alarming. I also doubt anyone in your group would ever use the word "cure" or apply the concept of "curing". I've only ever heard that word used by fringe right wing crazies and people on the outside of faith entirely.

@Boring - there are many "churches" that do things that are not in tune with what the majority of Christians consider in line w/doctrine. I'd simply suggest that you had a church with some misdirection - it could be just the minister, it could be the elders, board of directors, or the entire congregation, but in the end - that isn't what churches tell you, or what Christianity tells you, it is what one group (or one person) believed. A church isn't a building - a church is whenver 2 or more folks convene and worship together. All this to say, anytime someone says, "I learned in church that X is wrong". Well, ok, that person, or those people, or that congregation seems uninformed. However it isn't to say most or all churches or members of that faith see and do things. It's be akin to going to a gas station, a school, a city council, saying one thing and then somehow it getting applied to all gas stations, or city councils - no, it's that particular gas station attendant, or that particular gas station itself.
