This comment comes off as extremely uninformed; there is far more chemistry involved in nutrition than the tiny factors you mentioned.

Appealing to science could also be eating a higher saturated fat diet like in France where heart disease is lower than in the US.

There is lots of science that is ignored by the ignorant and uninformed.

Not to mention omega6 vs omega3; what you say is "appeal to nature" is actually appealing to science for some chemistry

I really don't understand why calling me ignorant or uninformed is neccesary. I'm just bringing up some counterpoints - something else to consider, I'm not recommending a diet based on soybean oil or anything.

I'm curious if you have any direct response to my points - do you know of any reasons that could make another deodorized oil a better option? I would really love to hear it, since I do recommend people that soybean oil is healthier than deodorized palm, canola, or peanut oil.
