I think someone should comment that just because bacon grease has lots of saturated fats, it is not bad for you. Question: does bacon grease have trans-fats?

No, it doesn't contain any trans-fats. Bacon grease and lard are a hell of a lot healthier (and tastier) than Crisco, soybean oil, or any other hydrogenated poison. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.95.233.49 (talk) 07:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

No nutritional value aside from the lipids? edit

Fat IS nutrition. It's pure food energy, as is sugar. If something doesn't have either carbohydrate or fat you're not going to get any food energy out of it, so I guess 'nutrition' must have a different meaning than I'm used to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 00:30, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fuzzy math edit

This article says 4g of bacon grease has 38 calories, but even if it's pure fat, the numbers must be off, since pure fat has 9 calories per gram, and ${\frac {9{\mbox{ kcal}}}{\mbox{g}}}\times 4{\mbox{ g}}=36{\mbox{ kcal}}$ . (Shouldn't we find a better source—one that doesn't have obviously incorrect numbers?) What gives? dcandeto (talk) 19:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
