I mean the term “vegetable” is not very specific. Vegetable oil is an extract of triglycerides from plants and is defined as vegetable oils that do not solidify. Vegetable oil is chemically extracted from the seeds. While soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, and grapeseed oil are all technically "vegetable oils", generally speaking when people mention vegetable oil, they are talking about the oil found in supermarkets that is simply labeled "vegetable oil". . For many decades, vegetable oil has been labeled as a heart-healthy oil, leading consumers to believe it is good for them. Vegetable oil is a polyunsaturated fat, leading to the belief that it is heart healthy, but it is also considered one of the unhealthiest fats available to consumers. Vegetable oils contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which can be harmful to health when consumed in excessive amounts.
