You might want to re-read where I said

While our bodies do need some inflammatory and anti-inflammatory fats... we do not need too much.

To quote this article: https://www.realsimple.com/are-seed-oils-bad-for-you-6835267

"While it’s important to reduce chronic inflammation in our bodies, inflammation does serve us in notable ways, and we actually need some of both kinds of fats. (When we experience physical, chemical, or heat trauma, the inflammatory response that our bodies carry out helps prevent damage from spreading to nearby tissues, works to remove cellular waste and pathogens, and springs the healing process into action.) "

In fact, not removing cellular waste is bad.

What we don't need are the excessive servings we currently get. If people eat a bottle of aspirin, it will likely kill them, but there's no need to label aspirin as toxic, if taken in moderation.
