Redpill me on seed oil. It feels like what is and is not healthy keeps changing. What is wrong with seed oil? Are there any good vegetable oils? What do you replace them with?

More importantly, is the problem really using a few tea spoons of vegetable oil while cooking, or eating tons of processed foods and way over consuming it?

>The Sydney Diet Heart Study from the 1960s also shows that participants who replaced saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats high in linoleic acid—another fatty acid also found in many seed oils—“had a higher risk of death f

>Yet studies also exist appearing to state the opposite. Namely, that polyunsaturated fats don’t cause inflammation. One review of studies, as registered dietitian Abby Langer points out, even found that higher levels of linoleic acid “were associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular events.”

It's highly processed and high in omega 6 but low in omega 3 which is supposed to cause inflammation. If you only use small amounts then it probably doesn't matter much but it's unlikely to be so healthy that you should use it to make up the majority of your fat intake, even if you're not consuming higher than normal amounts of fat.

I get these but a lot of them have strong tastes and low smoke points. vegetable oils have a very neutral taste.
Beef tallow is great but pretty expensive.
I guess lard is ok but I feel like lard from grassfed/healthy raised pigs would also be very expensive or hard to find.

all oil is bad for you, it's not really a hard concept to wrap your head around.

to what degree its bad is a good question though, I stopped using margarine because its an oil combination that tries to mimic butter but is marketed as healthy... then you look at the marketing campaigns for why these became popular... and its literally all just to create a market for a product regardless of if its better or not. and with smoking we see they can easily pay off a scientist to say whatever.

I will ask this, does oil give you ANY benefit to see it widely used? does it do ANYTHING FOR YOU? animal far will, butter will, meat will, does a fried carb do fucking anything worth the calories?

and that's how I make my decisions on what to eat, granted I will also meal prep large quantities of food so I piss a 3 hour chunk of time cooking and get a few weeks of food for it, I find this better than just buying processed everything.

palm oil, meaning refined palm oil, is a decent alternative to high oleic sunflower; red palm oil is unrefined and contains a much better vitamin e and k content than refined. palm kernel oil has a very good lipid profile with decent vitamin k content.

the vitamin e content of these oils is protective of, and tends to track closely with, their PUFA content, making unrefined (red) a very good source of whole vitamin e and not hamrful in an oxidative sense.

I use vegetable oil exclusively to fry things when you need a lot (like 1/4 inch in the pan) to get a good crisp because most of it gets dumped in the oil jar and thrown out, and it's cheap and pretty flavorless.

I do that like once every one or two months at most, other than that it's all olive oil/butter/lard/tallow in that order from most to least.

I was never anti-soy but I am anti-seed oil, including soybean oil. Soy is lindy in the orient, seed oil is an industrial era innovation that largely came around to cut costs and, possibly coincidentally, became shilled as much more healthy than saturated fats with cholesterol becoming a meme 'bad-for-you' chemical.

This isn't a right or left wing thing, it's actually insane what we've done with seed/vegetable oils. In 1900 the average diet had less than 1% of calories from sources of omega 6 rich foods, now it's over 20% of calories in some countries. There isn't a natural way for humans to get this much linoleic acid, all major sources, particularly tree nuts, are highly seasonal so overindulging during the few weeks a year that they're available wasn't a big deal. Over the same time period the only thing that has steadily increased is vegetable oil
Saturated fat intake fell starting in the 70s/80s, chronic disease continued to increase
sugar intake has been falling since 1999, chronic disease continues to increase
Fructose toxicity is a thing and it's not good for you, but having done research on this in preparation for getting old, it's very obvious that either something inherently inflammatory or otherwise unhealthy about seed oils, or what they do to the n-6:n-3 ratio, is one of the biggest causes of metabolic diseases.

At the VERY least, seed oils are completely valueless empty calories, similar to sucrose/fructose and refined grains. Omega 6 is technically an essential nutrient but you need a very tiny amount of it.If you look at all of the diet schizos, left, right, vegan, carnivore, lo-carb, high carb, all of them are in basically full agreement that highly processed foods containing a mix of industrial fats (seed oils and transfats), refined sugar and refined flour are bad for you. They will quibble over whether red meat, or cheese, or milk, or legumes, or nightshades are bad, but you won't find any of them defending this shit. The only people I see defending it are industry advocates and doctors who are either paid off or who are just completely clueless and think their one class and a few continuing education credits from industry sponsored sources means they know shit.
