There’s been a lot of talk recently about seed oils. Some people, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., say these oils can cause inflammation and health problems. However, experts argue that seed oils have healthy fats, which can help with heart health and lower bad cholesterol.
Seed oils contain omega-6 fatty acids, which are good for you. Studies show they can even help you live longer when used instead of butter. While omega-6 fats are essential for our body, they need to be balanced with omega-3 fat, as too much can cause inflammation and may contribute to health problems.
Seed oils, like sunflower, soybean, and canola oil, are often highly processed and can also oxidize when heated, which may lead to harmful compounds. They are good for high-heat cooking but are less nutritious due to the processing.
Alternatives like olive or avocado oil are often healthier, as they are less processed and offer better nutritional benefits.
There is a concern about how these oils are processed, but many experts say it’s important to consider your whole diet, not just one ingredient.
What do you think about seed oils?

i don't use it. as you have already described, it can oxidize when heated. this also happens under the skin when the sun shines on it, resulting in sunburn.
in addition, seed oil has undergone a lot of processing, which means it has to go through many procedures.
i prefer to use what is unprocessed and given to me by nature.
olive oil is okay, because you squeetch on the olive and immediately the oil comes out.
while for sunflower oil you need amount of seeds to get a little bit of oil.
however, most of the olive oil you can buy is blended with other residual oils.
I think seed oils are very much okay in small amounts but too much can be bad. I think I'll go with olive oil since it’s healthier 😁
Avocado 🥑 oil is good too!
thanks
