nutrition article in Stand Up Paddleboarding Magazine

[SeldomScene]

Current issue features a story on good fats versus bad fats.  I am not sure what the authors background is in nutrition,  but at the beginning he cites lard as a bad fat.  Then he goes on and on about how lard comes from cows.  Hard to take anything the guy writes as fact after that porcine/bovine writing malfunction.  Apparently he operates an SUP lifestyle coaching business, which includes nutrition.  Holy cow!

Just another reason why pigs hate self professed stand up paddle board experts......

I've noticed that almost all of their nutrition pieces are complete BS. They are really out of touch with any science or reality.

especially strange in that beef fat--called suet or tallow--is about half monounsaturated fat--oleic acid--fundamentally the same fat in olive oil. It's actually pretty good for you.

Lard (pig fat) is probably better for you than butter or hydrogenated vegetable fat like Crisco. It's got one-fourth the saturated fat (bad) and more than twice the monounsaturated fat (good). Free-range pigs have lard that has a lot of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

So not only is the guy wrong, he's wrong about what he was wrong about. That's wrong to the third power, also known as a cubic wrong.

I long ago stopped looking at any of those SUP magazines, much of what's in 'em is just tripe.

As much as I hate the loss of traditional journalism, you are all reading and writing my SUP magazine here. Thanks for the info and entertainment.

I'm not sure what magazine you're talking about, but if what you read was the article by Scott Estrada, I read the same and the word "lard" is never mentioned.

Standup Paddle Magazine, Volume 7, No. 1.  Page 26.  "Health with Scott Estrada"  "Good Fats, Bad Fats".  Subheading, "LARD (Commercial)."  "Consider the life of grain fed cattle. They're fed GMO contaminated grains, put in unsanitary conditions, and given antibiotics and synthetic hormones. The toxic load collects in their fat cells.  Lard is nutrient-poor and usually hydrogenated.  No, thanks."   I wasn't going to name the author but he is the Nutrition Coach for that publication.  Not that I would ever make any life decisions based on a magazine article.....

Blame Lard.

Corky Caroll was music columnist for Skateboarder Magazine. I think he's know for being an expert of some kind?

The irony is, none of need to be told not to eat lard.  At least I hope not. 

[Sup-up]

Blame Lard

Oh man, that one is awesome.  I had to think about it for a minute.

This will definitely go in the PDX response hall of fame....

Interesting… I have "Samata" V2N1, and starting page 28 is "Tips: Scott Estrada," "Time for an Oil Change? The Truth About Fats and Your Health" and as I said, the word "lard" is never mentioned. I haven't read the SPM article so I can't even guess what's going on, but you can always ask Scott to explain: http://risesup.com/contact/
