My understanding of the "seed oils are bad" angle is that Olive oil is high in Monounsaturated fat which breaks down/oxidizes under heat but is low in polyunsaturated fat/linoleic acid unlike vegetable oils, which oxidizes more easily during digestion, while heated and resting. Coconut oil/ghee/lard are high in saturated fat which don't oxidize under heat as easily as their chemical bonds are stronger which was previously considered to raise cholesterol and be unhealthy. So Olive oil would be alright as long as it wasn't being exposed to high heat like frying, but would be fine on a salad.

Even extra virgin olive oil is at best neutral or likely still bad for arterial function. You don't have to burn oils for them to have negative effects on your body.

canola and olive oils are fine, and even good for you. Just count them towards your caloric intake as they do have a lot of calories. measure out a tablespoon and don't just pour it in. Heat and a little oil go a long way. As long as you aren't heating your oil so much that it smokes you are good.

Avocado oil has highest smoking point, about 270 celsius, so i think it's among safest

oil is bad for your arteries even if it isn't burned
Could be wrong.
