Not true. Omega 6 is worse than animal fat even not fried. It just isn't part of the study.
>it is not a HO vegetable oil
Like I said, "HO vegetable oil" is not really a thing in the first place. At the very least it's reasonable to not include it in the plain meaning of vegetable oil.
The most abundant fatty acid is sesame oil is linoleic acid, it is not a HO vegetable oil, so it will be degraded during frying much more than HO oils or than animal fat.
So the study has not compared vegetable oils in general as food, in comparison to animal fat, but it has compared sesame oil used in high temperature cooking vs. animal fat.
This is significant because pristine vegetable oils are expected to be a healthier food than animal fat, while vegetable oils that have been strongly heated are expected to be a less healthy food than strongly heated animal fat.
Therefore any study that compares vegetable oil with animal fat must make very clear which of the 2 cases have been studied.
