Why is it that it's only sketchy websites like this that report on soybean oil and other seed oils? Surely if it were such a big deal, reputable news outlets would have picked up the story, no? What's going on here? Is the whole thing bullshit? Or is big seed oil covering it up?

This information is a decade old. The answer is don't let anyone else dictate what goes in your mouth, and you are, and they'll give you soybean or rapeseed (oops, canola). It's in every fryer in the land, and you lie to yourself to think otherwise.

Im not sure about where Soy oil fits in, but there seems to be growing evidence that oils made from seeds, often called vegetable oils, are in fact quite bad for you especially when used for cooking.

Walnut, almond, sunflower oil are not bad for you. They're expensive.

Vegetable oil as you know it and it's sold is soybean oil. Maybe another cheap oilseed like canola or corn, but that's it because it's cheap.

I hear this a lot but have never seen anything other than hypothetical mechanisms. I’d be interested to see actual evidence, if there’s any you can share. I’m cautious here because it’s the kind of thing that plays to my own bias.

Peanut oil is so expensive/valuable that the peanut oil is usually extracted and replaced with palm oil,which has its own environmental issues, before the rest of the peanut is used to make peanut butter.
