It's healthier than the worst 8 seed oils. It's been modified for 1000s of years for easier extraction. And the oil is more stable and has better fats than the other 8 notable seed oils. But is it healthier than olive or avocado oil for cooking? Probably not.
Again, if given two options where one is safe (olive oil) and the other isnt conclusively bad, but has a lot of questions marks around safety (seed oils)...why would you take the option with question marks? There's clear explanatory science of why seed oils could be bad. It's not conspiracy.
It similar to people picking up cigarettes in the 1950s because there's no conclusive evidence theyre bad. You know what's safe...not smoking. You know what might be dangerous? Smoking. You would have to have been pretty dumb to pick up cigarettes on the basis that because there wasn't conclusive proof they were bad, they must be good.
A boat is a boat, but a mystery box can be anything, even a boat.
