Several years ago I started getting severe allergic reactions to something I was eating, suffered for a couple years trying to narrow it down and I narrowed it down to peanut butter "I can eat peanuts and the natural peanut butter you have to stir" but the other peanut butter they add different oils to and some chips I can't eat. I haven't narrowed it down yet but it's on of those processed industrial oils. hard to narrow down because the ingredients always list like oils it could be. I can eat a product and be fine if they don't use it but then have a reaction if I eat from a batch where they did

tl;dr, all oils liquid at room temp are not healthy, including olive oil.
Olive oil, at least in USA, can not be easily obtained locally or actually fresh (within a month of harvesting). Not even including how olive oil is often blended with other oils but still sold as 100% olive oil.
The only oil I know of that breaks this rule is castor oil. There may be others.
I don't really care if they are or not, what I do know is ultraprocessed foods are bad for me and I feel a lot better after cutting them out of my diet. Same with corn syrup etc, I just don't eat them anymore because I'm not drinking soda and eating prepackaged crap.
Cook for yourself, buy yourself some nice cooking oil (a big bottle of EVOO costs me $20 and lasts me 6-8 months) and you'll feel better
>>373680>tl;dr, all oils liquid at room temp are not healthy, including olive oil.How do you store oil better then?
>>373922If you can find low-saturated fat fresh, store it in the fridge or even freezer to extend life from a few months to a year or three
>>373609The fuck does this have to do with politics or ponies, my dude?
>>373680afaik palm oil isn't as unhealthy as the others, and it's solid at room temp like butter. like olive oil though, it isn't exactly easy to come by in the west. best to just use butter/lard or just boil your food imo
>>373939Oh no, an /ub/ thread on the mainboard, this is worse than Trump getting almost merk'd
>>373609It always depends on the source. There are studies pf positive health benefits attributed to seed oils, but they weren't Walmart brand
>>374748you can get coconut oil everywhere and its also solid at room temp
>>374755>Solid at room tempNot in the summer. Still, it's easier getting it out and on to the pan with a spoon than when it's being refrigerated and you have to chip and scrape at it in the jar.
>>374752It depends on which seed oil you're talking about and how it was extracted and that's just a start. Canola cottonseed and others are obviously not good ones but there's flax there's hemp seed there's a variety of options that are seed oils.
>>376189they are still going to spoil faster than high saturated fats. Olive oil is rather healthy, but only if its freshly squeezed. after about 6 months at room temp and its spoiled. most americans don't even see olive oil hit the shelf until its 4+ months old.
not even counting the fact that most olive oil these days is either blended, or not olive oil at all.
>>376188iirc it melts at 77 which is about what my kitchen gets to in the summer so its always easy to work
I've recently switched to lard as my cooking fat though, will see how it goes
>>376232Coconut oil is peak low-mid range oil. Lard (smoked for flavor) is peak mid-upper range, and avocado oil rules high heat.
Also, vegetable shortening is solid at low-room temp. Is that healthy? (protop: no)
https://youtu.be/PUjEUoHdUg0?si=eVOp0PXedBRZM9qqThis short video neatly addresses seed oils.
The thing about seed oils as a health concern is in industrial processing, eapecially highly processed consumer "foods".
Vegetable oil should never be used in recipes or mixes but it's fine to season a wok, or even pan-fry some eggs n tendies
>>376909>fine to season a wokAren't woks typically hot enough to bring any oil up to smoke point? Any plant oil goes toxic when it begins to burn.
>>376911Yes, and any animal fats as well. Welcome to chinese cuisine
