My pregnant wife refuses to buy me beer from the grocery store because of observations from strangers like this.
Shame culture is one large reason why paces like Japan have so much less crime. I wish there was more of this, would be nice to have cleaner streets…

My wife has picked up marijuana for me while pregnant from a dispensary before because it was right next to another business that she was already at. Please don't be so quick to judge others.
still unusual, even with that anecdote I can't guess that 9/10 pregnant women buying weed are buying it for someone else.

What an interesting, and dare I say nuanced, point. Let’s add to it how good fats can become bad through releasing free radicals, which happens at approximately the same temperature that a lot of animal fats are cooked at.
A few years ago, I did some reading on PubMed to figure out what fats are best to cook with. Came to the conclusion that extra virgin olive oil, which papers use the acronym "EVOO" for, is best for frying, whether that's pan or deep frying, and cooking in general. It's high in monounsaturated fats and studies found that various compounds in EVOO prevent the formation of free radicals, volatile organic compounds, alde…
I went searching just now out of curiosity and did find this one [1] which indeed affirms what you're saying.
Personally, I reach for ghee when I want a neutral oil (e.g., for cooking scrambled eggs). And, like you, I reach for some fancy EVOO for everything else. I have to confess my approach to get here was a lot less scientific though; I mostly settled on these two using the metric of deliciousness.
> In 2018, 4.7% of pregnant women reported cannabis use and 5.4% did in 2019 Holy cow, one in twenty woman are admitting to getting high when pregnant. I wouldn't have ever thought it that high. But then again, both my and my wife's moms smoked pot while pregnant.
Marijuana is a lot stronger nowadays and the effects could be amplified beyond a threshold that causes permanent damage

Palm oils in particular are not very healthy and are suspected to be a leading cause of diet-induced heart disease. Not all fats are created equally, or in equal proportions. Palm oils are high in specific saturated fats that are linked to cardiovascular disease. Palm oils are some of the most common fats found in prepared foods, especially foods that need solid fats at room temperatures. The majority of peanut butte…
Your body produces palmitic acid on its own, 30% of your fat is palmitic acid yourself produced. Reducing consumption of palmitic acid mostly reduces your quality of life, a balanced diet with a good biscuit and noeccessive calories does much more than eating dry, sandy biscuits and excess on sugar later on.
> Excess carbohydrates in the body are converted to palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis and is the precursor to longer fatty acids. As a consequence, palmitic acid is a major body component of animals. In humans, one analysis found it to make up 21–30% (molar) of human depot fat,[16] and it is a major, but highly variable, lipid component of human breast milk

I disagree. I think there is a lot of misinformation flooding the nets and the news, and this is provably true. Psychosis is a pretty obvious condition, and it was not difficult to observe psychosis thousands of years ago. Cannabis has been in wide global use since at least 8000BC, and yet... there just historically aren't enough crazy people for this to remotely pass the stiff test.
I've personally seen someone with bipolar disorder enter a months long psychotic episode after exposure to small amounts of THC. That is how I know it's a thing. It happens. I think psychotic illnesses are complex and there is no one cause. THC can be a factor. This is also what the Google results I linked you to said
I bet they drank water before the bipolar episode too.

In a lot of ways in the US i see the issue here coming down to prohibition. If Marijuana was legal and regulated then the FDA could prosecute fraudsters that claim the drug is “completely hazard free miracle herb that doctors HATE”. Of course irresponsible fools are taking advantage in a gap in the law to make short term profits.
The FDA could go after any merchants making those claims, but for the most part those memes are spread by randos on reddit/etc. The FDA doesn't and shouldn't go after random people saying stupid shit they probably earnestly believe.

I fry most everything in ghee these days. It’s delicious and the smoke point is north of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ghee is like 30% palmitic acid. I use it for cooking everything that doesn't call for oil, but people on a palm oil crusade might want to steer clear.
