Seed oils are horrible for you. Cell damaging.

Source of your scientific wisdom?

Agree that skepticism of these claims is warranted: https://www.consumerreports.org/healthy-eating/do-seed-oils-make-you-sick-a1363483895/

I use olive oil for searing/pan frying. Avocado or coconut oil for baking. Also, occasionally grassfed butter.

As PPs said, seed oils (which is almost every other oil) are damaging.

I think it is a pantry requirement for baking.

I also keep avocado and EVOO in my pantry. Cooking requires different oils.

Get it from Costco because there are a lot of fake avocado oils.

It’s also good at high temperatures.

I bake with butter and use avocado or olive oil for cooking. We don't use vege oil at all so don't keep it in our pantry.

You can use cooled melted butter 1:1

You need some fat that works at high heat as a kitchen staple. Olive oil is healthy, but does not work well at high temperatures due to the low smoking temp.

So, typically vegetable oil, canola oil or corn oil is the staple. But grapeseed oil is a healthier oil that works at high heat, so you could substitute that.

I use it for baking and hot pan stir fry or sear. Is there a healthier substitute that will do its job?
