Written by | published on

Air- or deep-frying, what's healthier? For most people that's not even a real question... rightly so?  "That's even a question?" I know, I know... With the health aura surrounding air frying it appears to be hilarious to even base a complete episode of SuppVersity | True or False  on the question whether air frying is in fact so much healthier than deep frying, but listen up: a recent study from the University of Porto  says that "most chemical parameters were similar on both frying processes, including [pro-carcinogenic]  acrylamide content" (Santos 2017). Can it really be that the air frying devices are another overhyped kitchen device you don't really need?

Not all fats are created equal and lard and hydrogenated vegetable oils are not on the top-list of "healthy fat choices". Our perspective on fat has changed significantly over the last decade. While some people still propagate that "fat is bad" and "should be generally avoided", most experts have stopped bashing fat in general and are now focusing on saturated fats. Saturated fats as they occur in lard,.. but wait! If you take a closer look at the fatty acid composition of lard, it turns out that it contains "only" 39.2% saturated, but 45.1% mono- and 11.2% polyunsaturated fats. That's actually not too far off of the average vegetable shortening with a saturated to monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fat ratio of 25.0 / 41.2 / 28.1% (nutritiondata.com) Lean more about frying , MUFAs, PUFAs  & co at the SuppVersity Std.

Do Your Sperm a Favor: Eat Salmon not Soy!

Written by | published on
In a recent investigation Brazilian scientists (Moraes. 2010) found that vitamin E from salmon, but not soy oil, has beneficial effects on sperm motality and resistance to cooling to 17° respectively 5°. The scientists supplemented twenty-four Dalboar 85 boars with three different amounts of antioxidants (150, 300 and 450 vitamin E mg/kg) from one of the sources and conducted a few standard tests at 24h, 48h, and 72h after the supplementation: Salmon oil increased the vigor in both temperatures evaluated after 24 and 48 hours. The occurence of total morphological abnormalities was higher in the semen of animals fed soybean oil and cooled at 17ºC while in the lowest cooling temperature (5ºC) there was no difference among animals under supplementation. [...] Salmon oil improves the sperm characteristics of the boar semen cooled at 17 and 5ºC from 24 to 48 hours. "No soy boy!". The good old BB-saying holds true no matter how hard animal rights activists are pushing to get me ...
