https://drcate.com/seed-oils-questions-answers-for-your-health/

Avoid all the seed oils and bad fats on this list:

Corn oil
Canola oil
Cottonseed oil
Soy oil
Sunflower oil
Safflower oil
Grapeseed oil
Ricebran oil
Hydrogenated oil of any kind
Vegetable oil (A generic term for plant based oils so technically it includes olive and coconut, which are fine, but when used on an ingredients list it’s never yet in my experience been olive or coconut. It’s been one of the Hateful 8)
Margarine
Fake butter spreads
Low cholesterol spreads

What to eat?

Never ending debate.

Russia feeds itself well

With only a third of the year to boot.

“Currently, with 35 million families (70% of Russia’s population) working 8 million [hectares] of land and producing more than 40% of Russia’s agricultural output, this is in all likelihood the most extensive microscale food production practice in any industrially developed nation.

“According to official statistics, in 1999 more than 35 million families (105 million people, or 71% of country’s population) owned a dacha or a subsidiary plot and were cultivating it… The 35 million plots of these families occupy more than 8 million hectares and provide 92% of Russia’s harvest of potatoes, 77% of its vegetables, 87% of berries and fruits.”
