In an interview, Dr. Sacks said the advice derived from the best research is pretty straightforward: consume few saturated fats like butter, full-fat dairy, beef and pork fat, and coconut, palm and palm kernel oils and replace them with natural vegetable oils high in polyunsaturates corn, soybean, safflower, sunflower, peanut, walnut and grapeseed oils. Also healthful are canola and olive oil, rich in both monounsaturates and polyunsaturates.

I wouldn't call those natural vegetable oils, unless they're still in their natural form - as in the whole corn kernel, the whole soybean, the whole safflower, sunflower, peanut, walnut, grape, and pods of canola (brassica/mustard?) seeds. I can't imagine any circumstances under which I'd willingly eat a whole safflower (thistle), an entire mustard seed pod, or crunch up the seeds of a grape in my mouth in order to get some natural vegetable oils. The corn and soybean are mostly carbs, so I don't want to eat those whole either to get my "natural" vegetable oils. Whole sunflower seeds, peanuts and walnuts, perhaps, but I really don't care for peanuts, so I guess that leaves me with sunflower seeds, walnuts and olive oil.
How many sunflower seeds will I need to eat to get a "healthy" amount of sunflower oil?
