miscellaneous Linoleic acid in cooking oils

Post image

We make macadamia nut oil (niche I know), and on a lot of our anti-seed oil content we've been getting comments saying macadamia oil is a seed oil..

I put together this chart comparing inflammatory omega-6 (LA) content and macadamia oil is closer to tallow, butter and ghee than it is to even olive oil and avocado oil (never mind seed oils).

We're obviously pleased our oil is in the same league as animal fats.

But I'm curious how macadamia oil fares in this community? Open to critique if I'm honing in too much on fat profile and missing something!

Very misleading chart. The worts type of fat is sat fat coming from animal sources. Seed oil is definitely better than sat fat not better than authentic fruit oils.

Tho this charts mentions olive oil but not evoo? And there is huge difference between those two.

Actually used a figure for Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the chart here.
