Thank you so much for the list. It would be easy to add the list or link to a lot of products & articles. Most people have no idea which oils they are.
I cringe when I think of how when I was growing up my mother, who was extremely health conscious but who didn't know in the 1960's what we know now, used margarine, Wesson oil, and that horrendous concoction known as Crisco. My entire family of six was all slim, however. My mother didn't fry foods at all, and although she baked pie crusts and biscuits with Crisco, these things were pretty rare. My parents never bought snacks such as chips, crackers, cookies etc., and they never bought cokes. My mother made everything from scratch, so no processed foods at all. As adults, not a one of us is overweight even today, and we never have been. I attribute a lot of this to learning to cook when young and having a basically good example set for eating. It carried through and we're all in our 60s and 70s now. I'll add that all four of us kids modified our diets to healthy choices (eliminating the seed oils etc.) in adulthood as we learned about how bad the old stuff was! We're all very healthy eaters now and have been for decades. It pays off!
A potentially good reference here:

I don't see avocado oil. It must be . . . OK(It has a huge seed in an avocado but they must make the oil from the outer green stuff, huh?!)
