My approach is that if you want to be safe, look at what people have had success with for the longest period of time.
This excludes most processed foods, if not all. Stuff like seed oils and refined sugar are the obvious examples.
Wait, what's the deal with seed oils? That refined sugars is a recent invention in human history is kind of obvious. But isn't like e.g. olive oil kind of ancient?

Olive oil is not a seed oil

Wait, what?I thought the pit of the olive is a seed? Isn't it possible to smash the thing into some earth and get a new olive tree out of it?
reply
Pretty sure the oil comes from the olive fruit, not the pit

Oh okay, then I understand what this thing is about. Thanks!

"Olive oil is produced by grinding olives and extracting the oil by mechanical or chemical means."
