Gastroenterologist Ksenia Bastrakova: lard gives the body vitamins, trace elements and useful fatty acids.
Gastroenterologist Bastrakova said in an interview that lard can be a very healthy product, and frying with it is preferable to cooking with vegetable oil.

At the same time, the doctor clarified: as a food product, lard is more useful in salty form. To get this benefit, you need to eat it strictly in moderation, since the product is extremely high in calories.
