THE LABEL DECODER
=================
The names seed oils hide under on an ingredient list.
Upload this next to the Seedoil AI directive so any AI can catch the aliases
on a label — or keep it on your phone and read labels yourself.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT  (cut these first)
------------------------------------
Canola (rapeseed) oil · Corn oil · Cottonseed oil · Soybean oil ·
Sunflower oil · Safflower oil · Grapeseed oil · Rice bran oil

NAMES THAT MEAN "SEED OIL" ON A LABEL
-------------------------------------
- "Vegetable oil"  (almost always soybean, canola, or a blend)
- "Vegetable oil blend" / "salad oil" / "cooking oil"
- "Vegetable shortening"
- "Partially hydrogenated ___ oil" / "hydrogenated ___ oil"
- "Interesterified ___ oil"
- "High-oleic ___ oil"  (still refined — better than standard, not a whole food)
- "Plant-based oil" / "plant butter" / "spread"
- "Margarine"
- "Mono- and diglycerides"  (a fat-derived emulsifier, usually from seed oils)
- "Lecithin (soy)" and "tocopherols (from vegetable oil)"  (seed-oil-derived extras)

OFTEN INDUSTRIAL / HIGH IN OMEGA-6
----------------------------------
Peanut oil (in fryers and blends) · refined sesame oil (in blends) ·
palm kernel oil (heavily processed)

GREEN LIGHT  (real fats)
------------------------
Butter · Ghee · Beef tallow · Lard · Duck fat · Extra-virgin olive oil ·
Virgin (unrefined) coconut oil · Cold-pressed avocado oil · Cocoa butter

RULE OF THUMB
-------------
If an oil needed a factory — bleaching, deodorizing, the works — to exist,
treat it as a seed oil; if it could come straight out of a kitchen, it's
probably fine.
