Why are the cooking oil ingredients listed in the same list without making it clear that they are part of the cooking oil?
Why is TBHQ listed separately despite being an ingredient in the hydrogenerated soybean oil?

All the ones from the second canola oil down are ingredients of the frying oil, not the fries proper.

I remember the 'scandal' when they were spraying their fries with beef tallow (because you know, delicious). Vegetarians flipped out and threatened to sue even though McDonald's never claimed their fries were vegetarian.

There are at least five ingredients OP said twice: canola oil, soybean and hydrogenated soybean oils, citric acid and dimethylpolysiloxane. Three oils, a colour retaining agent and an antifoaming agent, each mentioned in the list twice.
Furthermore, the same ingredient is listed twice under two different names: the 'natural beef flavour' is derived not from beef but from hydrolyzed wheat together in conjunction with hydrolyzed milk, so that's one more off the list.
Next, the oils listed? They're not generally all used at once, though it's possible. The list would more honestly read as
>Canola and/or soybean and/or hydrogenated soybean and/or corn oil
thereby reducing the ingredients by another three.
So, that's 19 ingredients claimed -5 repeated ingredients -2 renamed ingredients -3 superfluous mentions = 9 ingredients.
Personally, I don't see much the point of using both citric acid and sodium acid pyrophosphate as they can both be used as colour retaining agents since citric acid needs to be counteracted with sugar (dextrose) in order to balance its characteristic tang but I don't doubt McD does indeed use both in their fries.

Yes. Yes I do. You know vegetable oil is also commonly palm oil because there isn't a single legal definition of "vegetable oil"?

It's not tasty, it's quite disgusting. Source: I've cooked many things in it and compared to other oils like coconut, macadamia, olive, beef tallow or lamb fat. It's disgusting.

Absolutely correct. Although the rate of metabolization of sucrose changes dramatically depending on whether it is consumed in a refined state or locked up in digesting matter or macromolecules, as well as what it is digested alongside. Additionally, the state of the sucrose can affect the rate at which you can break it down into fructose and glucose and also the Ph of the absorption medium.
