Beef tallow is not a healthier option than seed oils; replacing animal saturated fats with vegetable polyunsaturated fats supports cholesterol balance and cardiovascular well-being, as seed oils do not promote inflammation.

This perspective aligns very well with the current state of nutritional research. A major meta-analysis from the Cochrane collaboration (Hooper et al., 2020) shows that substituting saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats promotes the flexibility of our vessels and the harmony of circulating lipids. As for the alleged inflammatory effect of seed oils, a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published by Johnson et al. (2012) reveals that linoleic acid does not increase markers of inflammation in humans. This finding is supported by another meta-analysis of RCTs (Su et al., 2017) which confirms the safety of these fatty acids regarding the body's inflammatory response. Finally, the purification steps at the end of production effectively eliminate any potential residues linked to extraction. This discourse is therefore based on particularly robust scientific foundations to guide our daily culinary choices.
