From what I have gathered from the article provided and further research I think the it is all about the balance. As for most things in life if used in surplus it can be very bad for you due to the omega 6 balance. So I don't think they are inherently bad for you as long as you use seed oils in moderation and as long as used as recommended they have great health benefits to provide.

What was the outside research you did on this claim? You should cite your new findings in this explanation. I feel like this factcheck is more opinion based or on prior knowledge. I also believe you could find more sources on this topic. The one introducing this claim isn't necessarily the strongest to fully rely on it.

I think it is important to cite where your claiming this information from, as it is making your argument seem very biased and unresearched. Finding credible and reliable sources will help us to identify if a claim is true or not.
