Avoiding Seed Oils? Here, the Best Alternatives to Buy

America loves a dietary villain: saturated fat, salt, carbs, sugar and now, seed oils. That's right: The seemingly innocuous vegetable, canola, sunflower, safflower and grapeseed oils that have long stocked our pantries are moving up the list of public-health enemies. According to consumer insight firm Tastewise, 62% of consumers say they are avoiding canola and vegetable oils. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called seed oils 'one of the worst things you can eat.' Many nutritionists disagree, but that has not stopped restaurants and food companies from offering alternatives.
