I recently ran across a YouTube by Dr. Becky Gillaspy regarding the 3 foods to cut out in order to lose weight. The first two, of course, were sugar and flour. The third was seed oil. She explained that the process of getting oil from the seeds involved using high heat, which caused free radicals and resulting inflammation. The reason why extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil were good is that the flesh is so soft that the oil can be expelled without the high heat (think “cold pressed” olive oil). It all makes sense to me...

Oils are also often extracted with solvents, like (?? hexane??) which are then removed somehow or another. Vegetable oils when heated to smoking point polymerize and are vicious to the arteries and other body systems.

Thanks for the additional information.

Thank you for filling in that blank for me.
