Seed Oils: Health Hazard or Hype?

Seed oils, derived from plants like sunflower, canola, and soybean, are commonly used in cooking and processed foods. They contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which some studies suggest may contribute to inflammation and health issues when consumed in excess. However, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe. The debate continues on their health impact, with some experts advocating for reduced intake in favor of oils with higher omega-3 content.
