beef tallow has a high smoke point at 420 F or 250 C for non Americans

When oil reaches it smoke point it releases carcinogenic fumes into the air which is bad for your lungs it also releases harmful substances into your food

The main thing that makes fried food so unhealthy is the oxidized lipids as well as other chemical reactions that occur when

Oxidized lipids reek havoc on your body and go into your blood stream causing inflammation in pretty much all your organs and just fucking shit up in general



beef tallow is stable under high temperatures as it’s mostly saturated and mono unstaturates with a tiny high of polyunsaturated fat

So the amount of oxidation at reasonable temperatures is minuscule to near 0
