And she added olive oil was high in fat so should only be taken in moderation.

Really?Seems like a pretty big drawback to me. :erm:

Saw this a few days ago.......unfortunately: "Researchers found 50g of extra-virgin olive oil was equivalent to about a tenth of a dose of ibuprofen.".........back to the drawing board.... :(

Hmm. I wonder what the laxative properties of 500g of olive oil would be. :)

Dripping should only be used to fry CHIP In Great Yarmouth these a Chip Stall (about in total) in the market called Dearnos its the best chippie there cooked in dripping you can still taste the chip about 2 hours latter

sunflower oil is useless for frying, it has too many unsaturated fats, which either go rancid quickly, or polymerise into loads of gum in your fryer.

a good oil for frying is maize oil, loads of mono fats, which are difficult to oxidise.

otherwise use rapeseed oil, which is nearly as good.

olive oil is best for flavour - it just doesn't like getting too hot, so not good for deep frying ;)

Does it matter? You'd be too anaesthetised to care! ;-)
