Expeller Pressed Sunflower Oil
Very Bad

Sunflower oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. The expeller pressing method is a mechanical extraction process that avoids chemical solvents but does not mitigate the high omega-6 content. Compared to oils like olive or avocado, sunflower oil is less favorable due to its fatty acid profile.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
