I thought grape seed was ok because it doesn’t require processing 

 Think the harsh industrial processes and thousands of grapes required to coerce one spoonful of fat out of the tiny hard seeds of a grape. 

 But what I was told with grape seed oil is that it is cold pressed and not processed just like avocado and olive 

 Something I once heard that I assume to be true is that, most seed oils aren't overtly bad for you (which doesn't mean that there aren't better options) so much as that they're often found in lots of high calorie, low nutrition foods that, when eating with any frequency, are pretty bad for you.

But believing this will make you fail group purity tests, and get you othered so it can't/mustn't be true 🙂 

 Grapeseed oil can be a bit tricky. I prefer to stick with fats I trust and know are healthy. Homemade options definitely taste better and feel safer, at least for me 😅 

 We only use the grape seed when we need to deep fry because it has a high smoke temperature, I use lard normally to cook in or whatever grease is left in the pan and my wife uses olive oil for baking normally 

 Well in my cooking gallery I share how I bake and fry everything in beef tallow if you ever want to take a look. 🤗 

 @paloma is correct and ill add some nuance 

Seed oils *RAW* aren’t too bad in small quantities. 
-Plants dont want you to eat the seed, (its their reproductive method) so they have interesting ways to discourage foraging.  (Toxins)

The single biggest issue with “seed” oils is that their expensive to refine. 
-Cold pressing is time consuming and expensive in commercial quantities so instead they boil the seeds and drain off the oil. (damages the fat and effectively makes it rancid and toxic)

Seed oils are Omega-9 and are delicate.  
-They spoil quickly even in the refrigerator and are often refined with detergent during processing to remove toxins that would otherwise make them taste bitter.

I could go on but you get the gist.

Just buy oils that are omega 3 or 6 and keep the omega 9s in your diet in the form of raw nuts.  Don’t cook with them.  (Or buy baked nuts, same problem)

 Cook with beef fat/tallow.  Cheaper, healthier and delicious. 

 Have all of these in the house. Something about cooking in animal fat too that I’ve noticed is it signals hunger/fullness to your brain much more than pufa/seed oil.

 This is probably 101 basic yet I need to ask... what about olive oil? Is that one of the good ones?  

 Possibly because she referenced high heat cooking. 

 I actually prefer cooking with the ‘sacred six’ fats! Olive oil can become unhealthy when heated. These sacred six hold up better at high temperatures and still provide great flavor. 

 My takeaways for olive oil are:

Its fine and has a nice nutty flavor but

-Don’t get it too hot. Sauté or use raw. (No broil or bbq)
-It’s expensive and often diluted with seed oil and you don’t know. 
-Avocado is more stable (bbq marinades etc) 

 thank you for sharing. I find I default to coconut oil for many, many things from hair and skin care to pulling yet I only cook a couple things because it impacts the flavor. I'll reference your list in the future.  

 my friend claims peanut is ok. but i doubt it. any links to why peanut is harmful would be appreciated 

 Thanks for posting this.  I am part of the aware crowd, but it’d be great to see more mention of just how bad seed oils are, yet they’re so prevalent in so many foods, at least here in the USA.  This has to be the #1 reason for this country’s obesity problem.  The normies don’t even think about.  I doubt they know to think about it.

I stay away from artificial food colors, too.  I’d like to get away from artificial flavors, too.

Find a dairy farmer and drink raw milk.  I’ve been drinking it for years, but the US government villainizes it.  Because nobody wants to get raided by the cops, we have to play stupid games to get our raw milk.  It’s illegal to sell here, at least directly.  You won’t find it in any store.  Store bought “homogenized” milk tastes like garbage to me.  As a bonus, I’ve never gotten mad cow or sick from drinking it.  The claims of getting sick are greatly exaggerated when dealing with a reputable farmer of which most are. 

 I used lard almost exclusively until I found out most american lard is high in PUFA, comparable to canola oil!  Now it's tallow and butter only.

 I make my own tallow at home. 

 👍 yes now it's home rendered beef tallow for us 

 We are butter, ghee, coconut oil and beef tallow fanatics. Fats our bodies can actually use.
