it's a high stearic acid fat that's super freaking healthy for humans it decreases colon cancer in a rat model of dimethyl hydrogen induced aberrant crypt foci

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

the thing is that they're inducing cancers with dimethyl hydrazine what fared the best the casein versus beef protein didn't have much of a difference suggesting meat doesn't cause or worse in colon cancer number one but the real exciting part of the study was that beef tallow reduced the number of aberrant crypt foci and decreased fecal bile acid concentrations and increased mucosal apoptosis with tallow consumption and these are not consistent with a roll for this fat and increasing the risk of colon cancer soybean oil fared worse so when rats fed soybean oil they had more aberrant crypt foci which are pre-cancerous lesions tallow was protective get your animal fat in your diet that's why we made fire starter if it's easier for you guys get your animal fat in your diet this is a really cool interventional study which is often ignored when people are told that meat or animal fat causes cancer that shows that meat and animal fat prevents it or improves outcomes do not sleep on this really cool stuff
beef fat improves apoptosis and decreases aberrant crypt foci formation relative to a plant-based oil in the rat colon and of course apoptosis aberrant crypt foci are involved in colon cancer outcomes
there was a decreased number of aberrant crypt foci which are precursor lesions to colon cancer decreased fecal bile acid concentration and increased mucosal apoptosis which is programmed cell death with tallow consumption
and they say this is not consistent with a role for this fat in increasing the risk of colon cancer
there was a significant protein by fat source interaction for the apoptotic labeling index
animal fats are key guys one of the studies i pointed out to joel fuhrman during our debate was looking at tallow that is animal fat the suet of animals the thing we put in fire starter at hardened soil is in helpful it's an improvement in rap models of colon cancer animal fat improves crypt foci and pre-cancerous lesion and currents in rat colons
