Vegetable Oils: Are They Healthy? — Diet Doctor
Vegetable oils — those shiny modern elixirs — have seeped their way into all the nooks and crannies of our food supply. Are they healthy, and what happens when we eat them?

At this point there’s still quite a bit we don’t know about vegetable oils. Consuming small amounts of vegetable oils might make sense for some of us, depending on lifestyle, food preferences, and other factors.
However, if your goals include eating less processed food — as ours do — the best course may be to avoid these newcomers and return to traditional dietary fat sources. Get your fats from whole foods, including avocados, oily fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, traditional oils, butter, coconut oil and meats.
