Seed oils are oils extracted from the seeds of plants, such as sunflower, soybean, and sesame. They are commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, and industrial applications due to their high unsaturated fatty acid content. Examples include sunflower oil, canola oil, and flaxseed oil. These oils are often praised for their health benefits, including lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation. However, their high omega-6 fatty acid content has raised concerns about their potential negative impact on health when consumed excessively.
