> in rats So we're deriving that an entire class of foods aren't "good for you", because of a specific outcome in a study conducted on rats? edit Also, the effect produced on the rats was weight gain.

And if yes, isn't this just way too broad a statement ("oils aren't good for you") to have any value?
