Good post, XGeminaV, and the sort of information important not only to the pedes on this site but to especially to our "vax"-injured family and friends, who REALLY need to take care of their cardiovascular and immune systems.
Dr. Mark Hayman makes the same point about dietary fats that you do in What The Heck Should I Eat. This book helped persuade me to avoid nearly all seed oils (usually called vegetable oils or cooking oils), ESPECIALLY Soybean and Canola oil.
Start reading labels, and you'll find that these cheap oils are in almost everything. I find popular Organic salad dressings and mayo substitutes with canola and other horrid oils as the first or second ingredient.
Dr. Hayman's list of oils to eat and oils to avoid (from pp. 169 - 170):
Good oils
Organic avocado oil
Butter from pastured, grass-fed cows or goats
Grass-fed ghee (clarified butter)
Organic virgin coconut oil
Organic, humanely raised tallow (beef fat)
Organic, humanely raised lard (pork fat)
Organic, humanely raised duck fat
Organic, humanely raised chicken fat
Use the next group raw, on salads or other foods, but don't cook them:
Organic extra virgin olive oil
Walnut oil
Almond oil
Macadamia oil
Sesame seed oil
Tahini (sesame seed paste)
Flax oil
Hemp oil
Avoid the following:
Soybean oil
Canola oil
Corn oil
Safflower oil
Sunflower oil
Palm oil
Peanut oil
Vegetable oil
Vegetable shortening
Margarine and all other butter substitutes, including the newest ones, which actually include butter among the ingredients
Anything that says "hydrogenates"; it's poison
Anything else that looks fake.
Note: many good oils are adulterated with cheaper oils; I've read (I forget where) that Italian crime groups make drug-lord-level money from selling "Organic, extra virgin olive oil" cut with other, cheaper oils.
We've been buying California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Life Extension for some time, mostly because I've been shopping with LEF for decades and trust the ingredients in what they sell. No, not the cheapest olive oil you can find.
