Seed oils are a bit of a boogieman, though. Omega 6 is associated with better longevity/cardiovascular health and though linolenic acid has a known inflammatory function in large quantities it's not present enough in a "normal diet" to cause inflammation[1]. Rather than worrying about Omega 6 fatty acids, we should make sure we're getting enough Omega 3.

Your mileage may vary, particularly if you already have inflammation issues or use TikTok for more than 5 minutes.
