There's an article, not by me, but by someone else called The Great Conola, and it's about how canola oil is a con.

They named it.

I don't.

I don't look at canola oil labels.

Yeah.

You can buy cold-pressed seed oils.

It's not what most people are eating food with.

But I still think that the fundamental problem with, it's not just the processing, it's also if you look at ancestral human diets, no one ate fatty acid compositions that looked like that because the reason that they usually use hexane to extract it is because it's actually difficult to extract using purely mechanical methods.

So, you know, olives can be pressed into oil.

Right.

Olive is a fruit oil.

Yeah, avocado oil is pressed out of the avocado.

Right.

The flesh is super high in fat.

Yeah, I don't think they make oil out of that.

Yeah.

So cooking with an oil, one issue is the smoke point because the oil is burning at its smoke point.

And that probably is more of an indication of flavor than it is of health.

But it is generally going to correlate.

Like if the oil is burning, you're more likely to have damage to the oils.
