I have always cooked with seed oils and have been seeing contradictory information about whether they’re good or bad. Food science is something I don’t quite understand so please, explain it like I’m five.
edit: thank you for everyone’s responses. I will continue life as normal and cook with my seed oils

It’s flavor.
Oil is fat so here’s the breakdown. The good/bad is based on the type of fat and quantity consumed. Nothing and everything are dangerous. Dosing is what matters. Drinking too much water can kill you.
Unsaturated is easiest for your body to breakdown and can be used sooner so you retain less
Saturated is more difficult to break down.
Trans fats are unsaturated but have a different shape and a double bond so are more difficult to break down.(Partially hydrogenated means trans is possible regardless of the label. Fully hydrogenated is a saturated and can’t be trans)
