Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Industrial seed oil production is a multi-step process. It often involves high heat, pressing, and the use of a chemical solvent (like hexane) to extract the maximum amount of oil. The crude oil is then often refined, which includes steps called bleaching (using clay filters, not liquid bleach) and deodorization (using steam distillation) to remove impurities and create a neutral-tasting, stable product. ⚙️
