I was comparing linoleic acid in cooking oils and avocado oil is not much lower than canola oil?! Avocado oil is about 15%+ and a few doctors I follow say a lot of it is low quality. Macadamia is one of the lowest omega 6 contents I’ve come across. It’s the same linoleic acid as tallow (1-3% linoleic). I ordered a bottle of macadamia oil to replace my avo oil and liking it a lot but interested if anyone else uses it for cooking?

saw an article about this study at a university in China looking at how palmitoleic acid (omega-7) can lower inflammation, oxidative stress and chronic disease. Macadamias have a lot more omega-7 than any other nut (sea buckthorn berry seems to be the only higher food source). Invitro only at this stage, would love to see more evidence in humans..
