Not fit for human consumption due to being denatured. Also some seeds are just not good for you at all, such as rapeseed and GMO canola.

They promote inflammation and cellular decay via increased oxidation, increased free radicals, and cancer causing agents.

Only the lobbyists and their minions will tell you different.


A lot of false info here

The only restaurant that uses olive oil is your kitchen.

You aren’t going to find this. You just aren’t. Restaurants are in the business making money. Olive oil is very expensive and reserved for dressings, sauces, and finishing- not for cooking. For cooking, the cheapest oil will be used.

I went to cooking school, and we always used a 50-50 blend of olive oil and canola. Pure olive oil smokes at high temps.

Also used the blend in salad dressings -- chefs feel pure olive oil isn't neutral enough.

They can pan sear with olive oil, but don't expect them to dump the big fryer full of olive oil and deep fry for you.
Salads? No problem.

Nobody will be frying in olive oil. It’s manageable at home but at a restaurant with the high frying temperatures it’s not practical or possible. Your relative would need to order something that does not involve frying. Soup / salad / etc

Olive oil has skyrocketed in price due to the weather last summer. I don't think many places will use exclusively olive oil due to the prohibitive cost.

Generally not a good idea since olive oil denatures and is best for raw uncooked applications.
Butter or lard are better for cooking as they can withstand higher temperatures and not be as harmful as overheated oil oil.

You right to avoid corn/canola oils as they are seed oils and harmful.

There’s a Facebook group called Support MoCo Restaurants (started during pandemic, but still a good source of info). There are a few owners and chefs on that page, so if you don’t get an answer here, I suggest you ask there.
