Sunflower oil: honest sludge that still clogs arteries for the price of 'healthy.'

The Take

Sunflower Oil scores 89 slop. It is not healthy. High omega-6 content with zero redeeming fat profile makes it the refined seed-oil sludge fast-food dungeons rely on.

People buy it to signal virtue around 'plant-based' or 'heart-healthy' labels while ignoring the industrial refining that strips everything useful and leaves arteries filing complaints.

The Verdict

Skip it. Buy beef tallow or extra-virgin olive oil instead. Sunflower Oil is the cheap industrial default that replaced stable cooking fats with inflammatory sludge.

Exact Slop Score: 89.
