I’ve seen people saying it’s the worst thing ever but no evidence. I tried to google it but one of the first articles was from goop so I’m hoping one of you can find a reliable source.
I recommend this debate and this podcast on the topic, omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is important but there’s no reason to believe seed oils are unhealthy when the balance is kept.

LA veterans study also shows benefits of oil consumption when replacing saturated fat.
The main issue with seed oils is that there often found in calorie rich, nutrient poor processed foods, and that’s where they get their bad rep from, if you decide to cut them out, most of the things you’re cutting out as a whole are bad, but not necessarily because of this one ingredient.
I eat nuts and seeds specifically knowing they contain alot of healthy fats, so I wouldn’t avoid them myself.
If it’s because of omega 6 levels than I would focus on upping your omega 3s vs trying to lower your omega 6s

There is science about it but it is a bit hidden as industry trying to protect itself. From personal experience, after having eliminated most of seed oils from my diet, I can really feel it when I eat food full of it…
The way I see nutrition is that I don’t want to put anything in my body that isn’t a whole/real food. Seed oils came around only 100 years ago and originally they were used for industrial applications. Just consider what they are and you have your answer. They are highly processed inflammatory oils. When they are eaten your body doesn’t recognize them as food. Also the chemical structure changes drastically once these oils are heated to high temperatures making them more toxic. I cook with ghee and animal fats which are natural fats.
Processed seed oils are considered to be some of the all-time health killers. Inflammation breeding grounds for your body. Always avoid cooking or prepping food with them. Use sparingly with everything else. I know, this includes about anything fried or processed. Also includes about any mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, and of course all margarine, or plant-based spreads. ALL FAST-FOOD is pretty much filled with processed oils.
Use organic olive oil, butter (grassfed), or coconut oil as solid options to cook with and eat as much whole food as possible.
There is a lot of debate surrounding seed oils, with some people touting them as being a healthy and beneficial addition to one’s diet, and others believing that they are nothing more than empty calories that are not good for your health. The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle - seed oils can be a healthy addition to your diet if you consume them in moderation. However, it is important to note that they are not necessarily healthy for every person, and should be used in conjunction with other forms of exercise and a balanced diet.
