| Mused after reading that AI makes learning too easy. What is meant is that by providing all of the information, AI takes away the research we typically do to learn and retain information. An example is that for some of my trips, I use ChatGPT to help schedule itineraries instead of using Google. ChatGPT provides all the information, so I don’t have to go to Google websites, read them, and decide which are accurate or appealing to me. I simply print it out, read it, and schedule appropriately. |

| Wine of the Week: Rioja
Today’s wine is re-OH-ha. Rioja is an area in Spain. The wine is mostly produced with the grape Tempranillo, but it can be mixed with others. Other countries, including the US, can produce tempranillo wines. It is typically a medium-body, dry wine with notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, along with hints of vanilla, spice, and tobacco. It naturally goes well with Spanish dishes such as paella, tapas, and chorizo, but is also good with pork, beef, and lamb. Depending on the preparation, it’ll match with pizza, pasta, and even chicken. Cheers! |

| Tallow Beef Fat or Seed Oils, Which is Best for Health?
Before 1950, tallow, rendered beef fat, was the standard for cooking. In the ensuing decades, public messaging began targeting saturated fats (such as tallow, lard, and butter) as unhealthy and causing an increase in heart disease. A switch occurred to vegetable oils such as corn, canola, and safflower, which are higher in polyunsaturated fats. Many of these, however, have trans fats, which are involved in heart disease.
Seed oils such as canola, sunflower, and safflower, etc. have the oils extracted by high heat, which causes oxidation and may be harmful. Hexane is used in seed oils during the refining process. Some feel this is harmful, while others argue that the levels found are too low in the body to do harm. (Organic oils do not use hexane.) Seed oils also have higher levels of essential fatty acid omega-6, which can cause inflammation. Again, there’s an argument that studies haven’t found an increase in inflammation in the body.
(Did You Know? Olive oil and avocado oil are mechanically squeezed to remove the oils and thereby avoid the issues of heat and hexane.)
As for tallow fat, the research that led to the association with cardiovascular disease is now in question. Tallow also provides more flavor than seed oils. Tallow may be a more traditional, “cleaner” fat, particularly if coming from grass fed-cows, rather than industrial lard.
Right now, there does not appear to be a clear answer. Until more research is done, oils such as olive or avocado may cause the least harm. If using others, use in moderation until more definitive studies are done.
