I would be skeptical about claims where there is always one evil villain in food that's causing chronic illnesses.
Vegetable oils are fine and the fears are unfounded. Here is a far better explanation.

- prohisto 4y agoOne of the overlaps between many vegans and the carnivores is the universal repudiation of vegetable seed oils. Healing with Whole Foods covered this nicely.
- AlexandrB 4y ago> One of the overlaps between many vegans and the carnivores is the universal repudiation of vegetable seed oils. What? I know several vegans and none of them think seed oils are bad.
- muh_gradle 4y agoI'm not sure why vegans and "carnivores" are considered an authority on this.
- tempsy 4y agoyou just linked to a well know “pro seed oil” twitter troll (had no idea that was a thing) but needless to say he is not an unbiased source
- tuatoru 4y agoThe claim (in gp's link) that it is unwise to extrapolate from focused studies to claims about populations seems sensible, though.
- muh_gradle 4y agoThere really is no such thing as a "pro seed oil" troll. He's pointing out gaps of evidence in the common claims that people who vilify seed oil, which is a real thing. If someone is making the claim that certain foods are deleterious, there has to be strong evidence to back those claims. And on a cursory glance, I'm not convinced that seed oils are deleterious. By all means though do your research. This is one source, but I've read others as well.
