Avoiding toxic seed oils takes considerably more than avoiding the bottle. Hummus = seed oils Pesto = seed oils Mayonnaise = seed oils Salad dressing = seed oils Jarred sauces, curry pastes, marinades = seed oils Protein bars = seed oils Granola = seed oils Roasted nuts = seed oils Tinned fish = seed oils Chip shop chips = seed oils Restaurant food = seed oils Sunflower seeds = seed oils Walnuts = seed oils Peanut butter = seed oils Almonds = seed oils Chicken skin = seed oils Pork fat = seed oils Farmed salmon = seed oils Eggs = seed oils The animals are the giveaway. Feed a chicken or a pig soy and maize, and its fat turns into the feed. A cow does not work that way. The rumen hydrogenates polyunsaturated fat before it ever reaches the carcass, so the fat comes out saturated no matter what the animal grazed. Butter, tallow, lamb, milk, cheese. Around 2 per cent linoleic acid, every time, with a mechanism guaranteeing it. Nothing else on the shelf comes with that guarantee.
