I would like to clarify the misconception many people understand about oil and acid. All edible oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, which have different chain length, number or position of unsaturation, cis or trans forms etc. Fatty acids are not consumed by people as food, but are used in making industrial products such as paints and cosmetics. So please understand that the labels of oil or food regarding their ingredients are actually the glycerides of these acids. I am a research fellow on fatty acids and should know what I am talking about.
