Well said.

I will never understand how so many defend the expeller-propelled and solvent laden oils as somehow pleasant and natural…

You think squeezing something to get the oil out is unpleasant and unnatural? I don't know what to do with that, it's nearly as absurd as saying cutting food with a knife is gross and unnatural, you should use your teeth instead.

		>expeller-propelled An expeller is just a screw press. Get your terminology right if you're going to chase the latest food demonizing fad. And yes, lots of oils are extracted by mashing up biologicals mixing it with a solvent like hexane and then evaporating off the solvent leaving a trace <1ppm behind. I filled my gas tank today and did some spray painting without entirely appropriate ventilation. I'm sure most people regularly expose themselves to a little bit of organic solvent on a regular basis without a second thought or moralizing about it.
