I adore Clif High. :) He is deep in the Woo. I enjoy.
If he said we shouldn't eat seed oil, then that marks another thing that Clif High knows about (that I did not know he knew about).
For any seed where we need chemicals or high pressure and/or heat to extract the oil, please use that to polish your furniture. It's not food. I really cannot think of a seed oil that would be healthy for you, aside from something esoteric like perhaps "pumpkin seed oil" or "sunflower seed oil" but again only if cold-pressed from non-rancid seeds. I think we're basically talking about a unicorn product that doesn't exist in most supermarkets, etc. And even if it were properly prepared, etc., I would expect it to be high in Omega 6 and probably other fun phyto-toxins (lectins, etc.). Blecch. Poison.
Examples of "nut oils" that can be healthy would be cold pressed argan, almond (not really a nut, in my view), hazelnut, or macadamia nut oils. Provided the nuts were not rancid when pressed, and were "cold pressed", it's probably a decent food.
I don't see any "seed oil" I recommended in the original post, but if you are thinking an olive is a seed, it is not. An olive is a fruit. And as with these other possible choices, one should seek cold pressed.
No seed or nut oil would ever be as good for you as butter from a grass fed cow though, or any of the other animal-based oils I mentioned above. And in closing, I like olive oil a lot if it's real, and properly prepared. But I prefer butter/ghee and think it is a healthier product for us. Lard and tallow too (but of those two, I prefer tallow).
