Oils, be it rapeseed/canola, olive, sunflower, basically any seed-oils are just about the same level of processed as homemade lard.

- peter_retief 7y agoNot sure what you mean, vegetable oils are hydrogenated, the lard or drippings we collect are from the cooking process.
- ebg13 7y ago> vegetable oils are hydrogenated As a general statement about vegetable oils, that is super false. You can tell because the oils are liquid at room temperature and hydrogenated oils aren't. Maybe you meant vegetable shortenings?

- Zarel 7y agoI'm also confused. That link does not mention hydrogenation at all.
- peter_retief 7y agoApologies I had the article in my mind when I posted. However the chemical used in manufacturing seed oils are quite extreme. I did use the wrong term
- notthatdude 7y agoIf you’re referring to hexane being the extreme chemical, there is 0% chance of any amount of hexane remaining in the final product. Everything else they mention, diatomaceous earth, clay, phosphoric acid, are all edible and pose no health risks.
- cortesoft 7y agoWhat does 'extreme' mean in this context?
- peter_retief 7y agoExtreme as compared to collecting the fat from roasting.
- peter_retief 7y agoI am sharing my experience of cutting out processed oils, it should be taken as anecdotal.
