The arguments in this short podcast sounded pretty convincing to me. That said, I don't have the proper background in chemistry to back what is said, so I thought of sharing it, hoping to get some input. So please, let me know what you think about it!

However, on the other side, there’s an oxidation that occurs in oils, and when those oils oxidize they start to decompose into a whole variety of compounds, some of which, in animal studies, have shown to have some toxicity.

you have to make sure that you maintain the oil in the freshest state possible.

This is the issue, most fast food places don't replace their rape oil anywhere near enough, because oil costs money.

I'd also question the statement "omega-6, has not been shown to increase inflammation.", "not been shown to" is a bit of a scientific weasel phrase that's used when there's conflicting information. We do know that omega-6 oil is broken down to arachidonic acid, that does play a role inflammation.
