Who says it is the same product it was 50 years ago?
I never said anything about it being a good cleaner or not. I simply said that I dont use it in my oil because I dont want to put solvent in there.
And they're the ones that say its the same as it was 50 years ago.
I can't bothered to be sure. But I think it has been said that MMO has been around 50 years (or more), not that it is exactly the same thing. And the "solvent" argument is little more than marketing and sales semantics...
MMO is not a flushing product, even though flushing isn't necessarily the bogymen it is often made out to be here either...

Do you think cooking with some kind of "vegetable oil" is better than cooking with lard?
If so, why?
Saturated fat withstands frying heat better.
Vegetable oils break down more easily and have already been heavily processed with heat and chemicals to become clear and tasteless.
I'm not arguing either way, and I don't use lard (though I wouldn't be shy to try it) but your analogy is not sound to me.
The irony here being that some believe that ARX is actually derived, at least partially, from "organic" (read animal fats) esters...
