Lard
Fat is a type of nutrient. You need some fat in your diet but not too much. Fats give you energy and help your body absorb vitamins. Dietary fat also plays a major role in your cholesterol levels.
But not all fats are the same. You should try to avoid:
- Saturated fats such as butter, solid shortening, and lard
- Trans fats. These are found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs). By 2018, most U.S. companies will not be allowed to add PHOs to food.
Try to replace them with oils such as canola, olive, safflower, sesame, or sunflower. Of course, eating too much fat will put on the pounds. Fat has twice as many calories as proteins or carbohydrates.

LANOLIN (Wool-fat)
The purified fat of the wool of sheep. As an ointment base it has the advantage over lard of greater chemical stability. A mixture of equal parts of Lanolin and Petrolatum is generally preferable to Lanolin alone.2

LARD
Either Lanolin or Lard may be used as an ointment base where absorption of the medicament is desired; petrolatum is much less readily absorbed, a fact to be borne in mind in selecting a vehicle for local medication.2
