>Seed oils probably aren't ideal

Except they are. A refined monounsaturated fat is in the upper tier of perfect calorie. It makes a lot of sense for omega-9's to be a major part of caloric consumption. The omega-3 and omega-6 when fresh and uncooked are also unnecessary demonized by the idea that they are immediately rancid. Like many things the problems arise from the implementation or how they are used, not the chemical itself.

Ideally, yes. But the failure modes in seed oil manufacturing are what scare me. How many accidental hexane exposures would it take to outweigh a lifetime of the benefits of seed oils over more natural, but less healthy, oils?

I remain unconvinced that hexane in the oil poses any serious risk.

It has such a low boiling point, it’s heated. It all evaporates out. What’s the mechanism keeping hidden undetected hexane in the product.
