Also, there are NO vegetables in these oils (corn is a grain).
π These 'vegetable' oils are particularly hazardous in cooking, as they produce toxic oxidation compounds like cyclic aldehydes when heated. They are highly processed and refined. Soy, canola, & cottonseed were not originally manufactured for human consumption.
