Have you looked into Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr and Dr. Dean Ornish - the first two doctors that have halted or reversed heart disease - both are no oils of any kind - here is a video of Dr. Esselstyn talking about oils - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_o4YBQPKtQ
Also there is evidence based science thats shows this.

Oils are lipids and lipids are the culprit (the wrong ones!) and people don't realize they are worse than common cholesterol products like eggs and meat. HOWEVER - polyunsaturated oils reverse cholesterol. So they shouldn't be discarded out of hand! We have heart and cardiovascular disease in my family but two generations ago those great grandparents lived to mid 90s - all four. They ate heart-healthy oils like Corn oil and safflower oil ONLY. With a smidge of olive oil (a mono-saturated-neutral oil). An unprocessed food diet. Mediterranean. I do the same. I eat eggs too! Wholesome unprocessed as much as possible diet. WITH SALMON, SARDINES and the like. Dropped by cholesterol like a brick! 240 to 190 in 3 months. Eat like the eastern europeans with their "feesh." (as my Ukraine refugee would say!)

Rochelle,
Thank you for taking the time to comment and for the link. While I have in part improved my diet it still needs some work. I am open to reading and learning as much as I can. Evidence based science is critical to my decisions.
