My grievance with the seed oil freak out, is saying I'm gonna die because I put a little dressing (with some soy bean oil or the like) on a salad with high nutritional value.
I shit you not, I use canola oil instead of WD40 because it lasts longer. I put some on my chicken run door latch 6 months ago, and it’s still lubricated. I sprayed some canola oil “cooking spray” on a door hinge months ago, and it still makes no noise. That shit is not food.
I’ll say for me generally, having closely watched my diet for over 20 years with consistent blood work, I’ve observed the following based on what I eat:
Olive oil is the oil which is used for basically everything in the house. We have vegetable oil (soybean) and grape seed oil but pretty sure they get used maybe once a year and have been sitting around for over 5 years.
Half and half in coffee, Greek yogurt, cheese, real butter, never margarine, not afraid to liberally eat any of those.
Tons of nuts especially for lunch. Avocados/Guac too.
Eggs including yolk eaten normally and liberally.
Normal but not excessive meat including the fat. Rotate between tastier and healthier but no worrying on it. Fried chicken and chicken wings are not scary. (Don’t do any frying of my own at home).
I don’t worry how stuff is cooked at a restaurant. Same guidelines apply, though non Olive oil gets used but I have no idea what ofc.
Have never had an LDL cholesterol reading be high. Virtually always sub 100.
One thing we rarely eat is bacon, it’s like a once every 2 months thing to cook some up, but once had a phase where we ate it a lot and my LDL was definitely higher in my next blood draw. After cutting that back out LDL immediately went back down.
So like I still feel it is an “eat food” philosophy and everything in proper moderation is way more impactful than elimination of hyper specific bad things if there is still too much “less bad” in someone’s diet.
Pre oil boom of the late 1800s animal fats provided all the lighting and all the lubricants. And that stuff was all edible too. Candles for pours were made from tallow. Only the rich could afford bees wax candles.

But this is getting way off the weeds, hoss. It's "energy" in the sense that it turns into fat/weight.
Which I agree with.

Admittedly, my understanding is limited to unsaturated vs trans fats.
This book should spell out the distinctions. Will listen in the car today

I’ll stick to butter, olive oil, and animal fats. I’m done eating Canadian engine lubricant.
As I said yesterday, I don’t cook with the “motor oil” but I’m not overly stressed about being in some of my occasional snacks.
on the road for sports ball. Oh no there’s some seed oils on deez nuts !
No update? Yella ded.
lost a tough game to the PDX bruthas.
Drinking all the beers and eating all the narsty Applebees’s happy hour and proving that exercise is king, boss.
