This article addresses the popular but likely incorrect notion that seed oils are detrimental to health , often labelled as inflammatory and linked to heart disease. It clarifies that seed oils are vegetable oils extracted from seeds , such as soybean, canola, and sunflower oils, and their bad reputation stems largely from their high linoleic acid content . The author examines claims against seed oils by referencing scientific studies and reviews , ultimately suggesting that current human research does not support these negative claims . Instead, evidence indicates that seed oils can be beneficial for cardiovascular health and do not necessarily cause inflammation, advocating for a focus on overall diet rather than demonising specific ingredients.
