Oil the enemy?

I think it depends on the individual and their response. We are all different.
 
Apparently when beef tallow was used for frying a consumer group lobbied so that all these lovely fats got replaced with trans fats and now the seed oils. Apparently fast food uniforms used to spontaneously combust when taken for cleaning!
The other thing I remember Dave Asprey (he who flogs bulletproof coffee /MCT oil) is that our brains are largely made of fat and do you want your brain made of rancid and unstable fat?
I try not to think about this when enjoying the off fried item away from home and Omega 6 Apocalypse is hyperbolic but do think factory seed oils are due to have their healthy fats halo knocked off!
 
I personally don’t believe all seed oils are bad.

I think it’s more of an issue of over consuming high carb + high fat at the same time. I also don’t have an issue with palm or coconut oils.
Mozzafarian and Willets do however have quite a huge bias so maybe a pinch of salt required.
