Oils with polyunsaturated fatty acid content exceeding 10% are susceptible to thermal oxidation during cooking, generating harmful aldehydes and polar compounds even below smoke point.
Hemp oil with garlic or chili added stays fresher longer when heated than plain hemp oil.
Even when you heat hemp seed oil really hot for a long time, it doesn't go bad in a way that makes it unsafe by standard food quality rules.
Hemp oil is mostly made up of linoleic acid, with smaller amounts of two other healthy fats, and heating doesn’t change which fats are most common.
Hemp oil already had tiny amounts of certain unhealthy trans fats, but heating it didn’t make any more of them.
