Vegetable oil

Flagged in 2

Scout's take

Vegetable oil, often containing seed oils like corn, sunflower, safflower, or canola, is high in omega-6 fatty acids. These oils are typically extracted using high heat and chemicals, which can degrade their nutritional quality. The high omega-6 content may contribute to inflammation if consumed excessively.
