I read that other day and thought WTF. He probably heard it was originally used for industrial purposes and therefore is toxic in his mind.
Just total lunacy.

I stay away from seed oils and have since I was a teenager (decades ago). Do they cause harm? Maybe. Are they safe? Maybe. There is zero conclusive proof they are healthy and zero conclusive proof they aren't. But why use them if safe and healthier alternatives exist? It makes zero sense.
And they probably aren't safe.
For 1000s of years humans have been using fruit oilseeds, olive oil and coconut oils. We know they are safe. They have been tested by time. And our bodies are optimized for them.
If you want to introduce a relatively new seed oil into your diet that doesn't have the same track record, are heavily processed, and our bodies aren't optimized for, you do you. But it's a pretty dumb decision if you (a) have the alternatives available and (b) can afford the alternatives.
If my partner brought home margarine, canola oil, vegetable oil, I'd throw it out. #### that. My family isn't consuming that dog ####. It's basic risk management. Zero upside and lots of downside. Unless you're poor and want to save a few dollars.
