"Vegetable oil" is the most processed of all food ingredients. Almost all cheap vegetable oils are extracted with solvents (Hexane) and steam-treated to remove odors and lighten the color.
The only appropriate use for these oils is as biodiesel.
Coconut oil can be refined to safely remove odors without causing the oil itself to go rancid. [1]

- gruez 10y agoHexane is used as the solvent and it's evaporated away after oil extraction, leaving behind oil. What's the issue here?
