Pregnancy guidance
LimitLard should be limited during pregnancy due to its high levels of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol. Commercial rendering processes heat pork fat to temperatures that destroy bacteria and parasites like Toxoplasma, making commercial lard pathogen-free. However, frequent consumption of animal lard can unfavorably alter maternal lipid profiles. Use small amounts when baking traditional pastries, favoring unsaturated vegetable oils for daily cooking.
