So why the switch to beef sebum? According to some experts, it can be much healthier than cooking with other liquid oils and fats.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic note that, just like butter and coconut oil, beef tallow usually consists of saturated fat.
Conversely, liquid fats such as olive oil, peanut oil and canola oil generally consist of unsaturated fats.
“Although saturated fats have been demonized in the past, eating certain species or small quantities may not be as harmful as previously thought,” researchers said.
The Mayo clinic added that some of Tallow's saturated fat is known as stearic acid that the cholesterol levels do not seem to increase in the same way as other saturated fats.
In addition, beef sees sequence contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which, according to Studies, can actually offer heart-healthy benefits.

Fast food fans will wait to see if other large chains jump on the sebum wagon as the debate about vegetable oil intensifies.
The medical community remains divided on the issue. Although the American Heart Association says that there is 'no reason' to prevent vegetable oils, scientists have found connections between vegetable oils and obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory bowel disorders.
A 2023 study by the University of California discovered that consuming too much soybean oil showed a connection with higher percentages of ulceroscolitis – a disease that caused chronic inflammation of the colon.
'Fastfood is part of American culture. But that does not mean that it must be unhealthy, and that we cannot make better choices, “wrote RFK Jr. On X in October.
'Did you know that McDonald's used beef tallow to make their fries from 1940 to phase seed oil in 1990? This switch was made because saturated animal fats were considered unhealthy, but since then we have discovered that seed oil is one of the driving causitas epidemic, “added the new HHS secretary.
“Interestingly, this started to rise around the same time that fast food restaurants were connected from beef tallow to seed oil in their fryer.”
