    People have used olive oil for thousands of years, while other people cooked food in water with simple sauces or with clarified butter. There’s no reason for this seed oil crap, it’s just another filler ingredient that causes inferior taste.

      People have smoked for thousands of years but it’s still not good for you.

      That said, I prefer nut oils. Walnut is high in omega 3s!

      So they did with seed oil.

      Sunflowers for example are used for oil production for 5000 years (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower_oil).

      Canola / rapeseed for 4000 years (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed_oil).

      That whole story of ‘seed oil is bad’ is nothing but misinformation.

      Not every seed oil is equally healthy. Not every single human will like the taste of every seed oil. Some people may even be allergic or intolerant towards a certain ingredient.

      But this all applies to all kinds of fats and basically all kind of food in general.

      If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But there’s nothing bad about seed oils in particular.
