Chicken fat - ok to use once a week

2 replies

My husband has a history of heart disease and recently tested a bit high on cholesterol, so we've always used olive oil for roasting.

However, it's soooo expensive now and I'm also reducing ultra processed foods and there's a lot of noise about oils (although mainly re seed oils). Also some people saying cholesterol tracking is rubbish too!

I googled it and some articles came up saying it was ok to use chicken fat from the Sunday roast, but I imagine that's wishful thinking.

Anyone more informed than me on current research?

Fat doesn’t make you fat nor give you heart disease.

I thought everyone knew that now.

I'm really confused as lots of the official websites like British Heart Foundation and the NHS still talk about saturated fat etc.
