Abstract
The effects of dietary defatted corn germ meal (DCGM) containing phytic
acid (PA) on pig health during development and on its Longissimus dorsi
m. (LD) lipid oxidative stability has been evaluated. Rations of DCGM
were prepared at the level of substitution of 0%, 10%, 20% and 40% and
offered to twenty four animals of Landrace x Large White crossbreds
throughout 25 days before slaughtering. Animals were sacrificed at an
average weight of 91.24 kg (±0.950) and samples for meat lipid
oxidation analysis were taken after seven days under refrigeration at 3
°C. Animals fed with DCGM did not show any significant difference, in
comparison to the control, in carcass characteristics, such as cold
carcass weight, backfat depth, muscle depth, lean meat percentage and
carcass dress yielding (p 0.05). Finally, no difference in meat
proximate chemical composition was detected solely arising from lipid
oxidation since LD from DCGM-treated pigs revealed an inhibition of
63.0%.

Phytates have anti-nutritive qualities. Why not just avoid unsaturated
fatty acids and oxidizxed cholesterol? Something like coconut oil, at
92% saturated fatty acids, will have hardly any lipid perodixation, and
you can taste the freshness (or lack thereof) in it without any
problem, unlike refined and highly unsaturated oils. Just don't be
fooled by those who lack common sense and classify lard as a "saturated
fat," even though it is less than 40% saturated. Lard is indeed "bad
news," but butter is fine - just trim the yellowed sides off the butter
stick and don't heat it up.

"Phytates revealed an inhibition of 63.0% of lipid oxidation .."
Now since we are using .. science .. I believe what you JUST .. said ..
"Phytates have anti-nutritive qualities" .. should be BOLSTERED .. with
a .. cite or two .. especially when the study ON 'this' .. thread ..
shows COMPLETELY FKG OPPOSITE of what you .. just .. said ..
Unless YOU .. have some OTHER .. marker .. THAN .. the MOST COMMONLY
ACCEPTED MARKER OF .. "BAD SHT HAPPENING" .. ever used BY .. those IN
.. 'Science' ..
Let me dumb it down for ya ..
Lipid oxidation is a .. bad thing .. and when one finds 63% .. let me
repeat .. 63% .. decrease .. that is a .. good .. thing ..
Who loves ya.
