Solvent-extracted hydrogenated seed oils for one thing.
Canola is an industry term, not Latin plant name, but why would culture repressed by toxic ersatz foodstuffs and microplastics care to know about brassica seeds?
- scythe 3y agoI was pretty disappointed to learn that hexane is still commonly used for solvent extraction of vegetable oil.

There are tons of safer solvents to choose from. 1: https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/cbic.201700210 https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdire... 2: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jns.12261 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jns.12261
