Is Beef Tallow Beneficial?

As a diabetic (IR, type-2) I received all kinds of false information from the medical field regarding diet and the use of fats for cooking or consuming. A fabulous naturopathic doctor rescued me with instructions that really helped me cope with the already serious damage done. Inclusion of saturated fats in my diet had an immediate positive impact, and I have kept these as a permanent part of my routine. Tallow has the awesome advantage of being heat stable, very much like coconut oil, which I alternate with.
