Bad news for #AvocadoOil users. That product advertising that it's made with avocado oil may have very little, or even none. And your bottle of avocado oil may be adulterated, rancid, or both.

"The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients
As a clinical dietitian who works with cardiac patients, here’s what I want people to know
(. . .)
The seed oil panic has achieved full institutional legitimacy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called canola, corn, soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, and grapeseed oils the most unhealthy aspect of the American diet. The January 2026 dietary guidelines — which discarded 421 pages of scientific recommendations from the advisory committee — now list butter and beef tallow alongside olive oil as acceptable cooking fats. Then came the food companies: Steak ’n Shake 'RFK’d' its fries, PepsiCo announced it would phase canola and soybean oils out of Lay’s and Tostitos, with Kraft Heinz, General Mills, and Nestlé following with their own reformulation pledges. The food industry is responding, at great speed, to a story that is running well ahead of the evidence.
(. . .)
But seed oils are not why ultra-processed food behaves that way. They are but one ingredient in a complex and highly engineered product designed to keep you eating past fullness. The oil isn’t the villain; the food product surrounding the oil is. Blaming seed oils for the harms of ultra-processed food is as helpful as blaming the wrapper.
There’s something else worth knowing about beef tallow that isn’t making it into the wellness content: It contains ruminant trans fats. They’re naturally occurring, present in all beef fat, and according to cardiologists, present in tallow at levels far above what’s considered safe. A full Steak ’n Shake meal — their 7×7 Steakburger and a large order of their celebrated 'RFK’d' tallow fries — clocks in at more than 90 grams of saturated fat and nearly 10 grams of trans fats combined. The administration that declared it is 'ending the war on saturated fat' has found a cooking fat that delivers more of the exact compounds most associated with cardiovascular mortality. MAHA is road paved with artery-clogging cholesterol, and they’re calling it a health revolution."

"Many nutrition and health researchers say that while seed oils might not be as good for you as olive oil, claims that they're harmful to health have been stretched too far.
'This is one of the more studied topics in nutrition. So it's sort of extra bewildering to quite a few of us in the field that this is coming up,' says Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist and professor of medicine at Stanford University.
He says studies have consistently shown that replacing saturated fats, such as lard or beef tallow, with fats from plant oils leads to better health outcomes.
(. . .)
To maximize how much oil is drawn out of these seeds, manufacturers usually process them using heat and chemicals, explains Eric Decker, a professor emeritus of food science and lipids researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It's a cheaper and more efficient process than mechanically pressing the oil out. By comparison, extra virgin olive oil is squeezed out of the fruit without the help of chemicals or heat.
Decker says critics often raise concerns about the most commonly used solvent in refining seed oils — hexane — which is hazardous. The hexane is removed during processing, 'but you end up with very small amounts left in the oil,' he says.
However, Decker says these residues are at levels too low to be toxic. A toxicology report from the federal government, published in April 2025, called the amount 'toxicologically insignificant.' And any residual hexane is likely to evaporate once you heat your oil during cooking, Decker says.
(. . .)
Seed oils tend to have higher levels of essential fatty acids called omega-6s and lower levels of other essential fatty acids called omega-3s. These fatty acids play a role in lots of different body processes, including regulating inflammation. Berry says our bodies tend to convert omega-3s into chemicals that fight inflammation,' while omega-6s can be converted into chemicals that promote inflammation.
That's why critics say you shouldn't eat seed oils that are high in omega-6s, because they argue that this will promote chronic inflammation.
Berry says that might make sense in theory, 'but it doesn't play out in real life, it doesn't play out in the human body.'
Berry says randomized controlled trials have found that, when people consume more seed oils, they don't show signs of excess pro-inflammatory compounds in their tissues, and they don't have more markers of inflammation."

"Seed oils — a type of processed oil found in packaged food and used for deep-frying — have come under fire, with the secretary of health and human services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posting on X that Americans are being 'unknowingly poisoned.'
Wellness influencers have joined in, decrying them as the 'hateful eight': specifically, canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and rice bran oils.
The real story is a bit more complicated. 'They're not poison, but we're poisoning ourselves with everything else that's ultra-processed and processed that may be cooked in seed oils,' Julia Zumpano, registered dietitian with the Center for Human Nutrition at the Cleveland Clinic, tells PEOPLE."

"But olive oil may soon cost more—potentially a lot more. Donald Trump’s 'reciprocal' tariffs, which he delayed by 90 days yesterday, are coming for the country’s liquid gold. You know what is mostly insulated from the president’s proposed plan? Seed oils. Consider vegetable oil, the most ubiquitous of seed oils: No matter what brand you buy, it’s likely made from American-grown soybeans. 'If the goal is to get people away from the seed oil, well, these tariffs are going to drive people into the arms of the seed oils,' William Clifton Ridley, an agricultural-economics professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, told me. Seed oils, maligned by both the crunchy left and the MAHA right, may get their revenge."

RFK Jr. says seed oils, like canola or soybean, are "toxic" but nutrition
experts say the reality is more complex. A nutritionist looks at the science
behind these common cooking oils:
https://theconversation.com/seed-oils-are-toxic-says-robert-f-kennedy-jr-but-its-not-so-simple-246494
#nutrition #seedoils -
"There is quite a process to get oil out of seeds. And it's more challenging than pressing the oil from the flesh of olives or avocados. A common solvent that manufacturers use to separate the liquid fat from the rest of the seed is a compound called hexane. It's also used for the production of natural extracts, drugs and nutraceuticals, according to a 2022 article on the topic in the journal Foods.
Hexane can be toxic if inhaled as a gas. In fact, it's a component of gasoline emissions. As a liquid solvent, however, it is evaporated off (without deteriorating nutrients) after doing its job to extract oil from seeds. Any trace amounts that may be present in seed oil has been determined to be 'toxicologically insignificant' by the Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry."

What #MAHA’s crusade against #seedoils reveals about flaws in #America’s #foodsystem
-
A hypothetical scenario behind the anti seed oil movement is that the proponents are being bought off by various #lobbies. This would be seen if the profit margins of non seed oils is higher than seed oils.
Some examples of a non seed oil come from the #dairy industry and it seems in general that the global market size of dairy is many folds greater than for seed oils. Additionally, it seems like the dairy industry gets also many folds more subsidies than the seed oils industry. These both statements would confirm the original #hypothesis.
Though if in return the #subsidies
for the seed oils industry would increase, therefore providing the dairy industry with cheaper material, then it would create an increased profit margin. Thus questioning the original hypothesis if it is financially driven.Alternatively, one could still explain it away as financially driven with the idea of having money now over having potentially more money tomorrow.

"Overall, the drastic way in which omega-6 fatty acids have entered the food supply and fundamentally changed our biological composition makes this an important area of study. But the question of whether seed oils are good or bad is not black and white. There is no basis to conclude that Americans would be healthier if we started frying everything in beef tallow again, but there is an argument for a more careful consideration of the nuance surrounding these oils and their potential effects."
