They explicitly exclude extra-virgin olive oil and avocado oil, presenting them as alternatives to seed oils.

Here are the eight seed oils most commonly used and discussed:

Canola oil (aka rapeseed oil)
Corn oil
Cottonseed
Grapeseed oil
Soybean oil
Sunflower oil
Safflower oil
Rice bran oil
Peanut oil

You might hear this group of seed oils referred to as the “hateful eight,” a reference to some people’s belief that they’re toxic and should be completely removed from your diet.
