    I can see that, but I’m still not convinced it’s the big deal it’s been made out to be. If anything is bad about seed oils I would agree that it’s the cooking process more so than the oil itself. Kinda like how the charred bit when you’re grilling are carcinogenic (even though it’s delicious don’t @ me) or how it was long thought that motor oil is what caused mechanics to get cancer, when in reality it was the burnt up carbon IN the oil that caused the cancer. Burning oil is probably bad no matter what the source is in general, it’s just not good to ingest burnt oil in large quantities. I think the problem with olive and coconut oils is they have a lower smoke point so they in turn burn more easily. Not to scare you or anything obviously it’s just that I think the burning of the oil is what makes it harmful not the source.
