    Ah yes seed oils bad, as supposed to… what? Animal fat? Butter?

    Like, I’m sorry, olive oil counts as a seed oil if half the things mentioned are seed oils.

      According to the article, olive oil is a fruit oil, because it’s made by pressing the whole fruit instead of just the seed.

      Also, unlike seed oils, it doesn’t require additional chemical processing in order to make it edible.

      That’s sort of what I was thinking: aren’t all oils from seeds?

      Except for peanut as peanuts are bizarre. I think olives are fruit.

        “Seed oils” is used by this crowd of wackos to refer to a bunch of oils that aren’t from seeds, like palm oil which comes from the fruit of the oil palm. The actual definition is stuff like sesame, sunflower, and rapeseed oil, but these people use it to mean basically any thing that is commonly used.
