TL;DR Summary

Seed oils, including canola, corn, soybean, and others, have been criticized for their potential health impacts, but nutrition experts argue that there isn't enough research to blame them entirely. While they are high in omega-6 fatty acids, the bigger issue is the imbalance with omega-3 fatty acids in the diet.

Olive oil is considered the healthiest oil, but overall, nutrition choices should be balanced and varied for optimal health.
