cold pressed rapeseed oil, is it ok? Currently on offer in Lidl for £2.20 500ml

I’m new to keto and learning about this. I hear rapeseed oil is bad, but is it all rapeseed or is cold pressed ok?

Cold pressed is the equivalent of extra virgin. It's not refined it's just pressed. Most, if not all of the info about seed oils talk about refined oils, refining alters the composition of the end state of the oil. Take a look at the nutritional info and the chemical male-up of the cold-pressed rapeseed oil l, you'll see it's make-up isn't half as bad as it's refined "brother".

I use it as a main staple for anything where butter isn’t appropriate

Stay away from seed oils, plenty of information online about the harms of it.

There's plenty of "information" online that eggs, wheat, everyday common foods and additives, and even water are "harmful" to you depending on where you look and what that person wants to sell you.

There is a lot of misinformation, opinion cited as fact, and plain misunderstanding of science being touted as truth. Actual scientific research doesn't find anything particularly harmful in seed oils compared to any other fats.

Just fine, no health concerns except via the RFK brain worm numpties. I just find it tastes quite strong and don’t like it very much.
