I love pompous comments like these. I'm not part of a "nutrition community" and I'm actually pretty open minded to these things. Hence why I asked. But you seem to be unable to have a civil conversation without being an asshole. Congrats.

Let's throw around studies like pokemon cards then. I have a study too: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955571/

Tell me again which seed oils have meaningful amounts of trans fat in them?

> I'm not part of a "nutrition community"

Your comment implies you're comfortable enough to give other people advice, eg "don't eat seed oils because the contain trans fat," even though they don't. I don't mind so much that people believe whatever they want, it's a problem when you misinform others about it.

The highly processed ones that are hydrogenated, such as cottonseed. Trans fat forms from that process.

I think the more worrying thing about vegetable/seed oils is the omega 6. A small amount is not an issue from my understanding. And in fact omega 6 can be healthy for some specific situations. But it’s the fact that these oils are used in just about all processed foods and restaurant cooking to the point where people are consuming more omega 6 than they should be and we’re seeing negative health effects as a result.
