How bad is vegetables oils really for you? Ive been using good extra virgin olive oil for most things and for high smoking points avocado oil, but they are quite expensive solutions. Any suggestions?

I understand, Helpme_1992! Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil tend to be more expensive, but they are significantly healthier than vegetable oils. Olive and avocado oils contain omega-3 fatty acids ("good fats") that help reduce inflammation. Vegetable oils have been shown to cause inflammation because they are higher in omega-6 fatty acids. When we consume too much vegetable oil, we get more omega-6 fatty acids than we need, throwing off the ideal ratio for omega 6:omega 3 (2:1). This is what then supports inflammation in the body.
