Actually - I would tell you from my own experience: the triglycerides are ignored if the Cholesterol is in reason. Triglyceride increase can be a sign of other things. A low carb diet is simply not the answer. Tryglicerides are kinda like a fat, but not exactly. They metabolize better when we are young and not so well when we are older. They can signal a metabolic disorder. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/high-blood-triglycerides#:~:text=Triglycerides%20are%20a%20type%20of,does%20not%20need%20right%20away.

As far as the hexanes - there are different types - and you are right they should be replaced. I don't consume much oil except during the holidays when cooking, but I use very high-quality oils to be sure! I'll check out the book! Always interested in learning more!

The health benefits of corn oil and corn oil margearine were debunked in the suppressed 1968-73 Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which only came to light around 2016.
