Frequently asked
What are seed oils and why do people avoid them?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, and grapeseed oil — are extracted using industrial high-heat processes. They are extremely high in omega-6 linoleic acid, which many researchers link to chronic inflammation. Health-conscious consumers prefer traditional cooking fats: beef tallow, lard, pastured butter, ghee, and coconut oil.
