Great article in the Epoch Times today! I’ve known for years (thanks to Dietician wife) that seed oils are bad for you and inflammatory/destructive for circulatory systems, but this article lays it out further. Epidemiology shows that world populations which either don’t consume seed oils or consume little of them have almost no heart disease, diabetes, or obesity, while the converse is also true for societies which consume a lot like ours. Probably the most common are canola oil and corn oil. They are also very cheap in comparison to olive oil or avocado oil (better for cooking because high smoke point). Surprisingly, coconut oil is also healthy and good for cooking although does impart a very small amount of that coconut taste to your food. I prefer it, myself.
We’ve used only these three or butter for years, but I’m realizing that most of the food we buy from restaurants or pre-packaged foods are probably loaded with seed oil. After all, restaurants usually use the absolutely cheapest ingredients in food prep.

For any of my Patnet friends here who struggle with their health or would just like to live longer with less chronic disease, you may want to give his this article a viewing. I’ve summarized it, but the details might matter.

I used to experience a problem with inflammation usually in my lower legs. The tissue would get puffy, red and very itchy, much like an eczema. I'd take off my socks and see the imprint left behind by the ridges for some time. It would come and go and it took me years to figure out what it was:

Deep fried foods. Anything cooked in vegetable oil. If I ate more than just a small amount of that, it would flare up in a day or two.

No doctor was ever any help. They'd just give you steroid creams and shrug their shoulders. Next patient, please!

I assume that you are OK with an air fryer?

I have one of those Ninja Foodi cookers, but have only done french fries in it once with that low-oil option. They tasted okay to me, not quite as good as the usual way, but the family didn't like them.

I try to keep my carb intake low, so I don't eat french fries very often at all.

I've been using grape seed oil for my stir frys. It has been the only oil that when I put a tablespoon or so in the wok, then stir fry my onion, there is still some oil in the pan, when I take them out.. I have always preferred to deep fry with Lard. I don't really care for Veg, Corn or Canola oil.

I take flax seed oil sometimes instead of fish-based omega-3 supplements, which has a good oil profile unlike rapeseed oil. Fun fact, the Omega series oils are also known as linolenic/linoleic acid, the base unit that gets polymerized to make linoleum. The plaques that form from too much "bad" oil might literally be like laying linoleum in your arteries!

Since discovering omega oil, I've been a regular user. It makes my hair and skin feel great, and can systemically combat skin dryness. (I HATE lotions etc.)

I used to have a condition where red spots would appear on my feet, and climb higher on my shins as whatever it was waxed and waned over time. Doctors were worse than useless, one likening it to varicose veins, another wordlessly writing a scrip for a steroid which I binned. I want to know the UNDERLYING CAUSE, dammit! Since cutting out most fried food and regularly taking omega oil supplements more often than not, this condition resolved after almost 10 varying years.

Good example/anecdote!
