Seed oils. That shit is in everything and impossible to avoid. Heart attacks were practically unknown before it was introduced, but it was so profitable it could entirely fund the American Heart Association from the 1930s on.
Once you start seeing them, it gets easier. Sweetened coffee creamer, most mayo (I make avocado oil mayo), sauces, dips, salad dressing, packaged baked goods, etc.
Mayo and dressings especially, it's a huge amount. For creamers I buy heavy cream. I make a homemade mayo with either butter (like a pseudo hollandaise) or bacon fat, and I usually cut it with some avocado oil. It's much thicker than most store bought spreads, but it tastes better than anything you can buy.
Avocado oil is made from avocado seeds. It's a seed oil.
