Can you cite any research, not sponsored by the petroleum industry, that relates to this opinion? Walnut oil is a food product, is made from walnuts, doesn't go rancid, and works quite well for maintenance of cutting boards and other wooden kitchen ware.
Comment on How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly?
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 hours agoThere is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.

walnut oil is lovely. it doesn’t penetrate the wood as deeply as the mineral oil + beeswax tho.

You had me at “violent greasy shits”

mineral oil is sold at the pharmacy as a laxitive. so yeah, violent greasy shits.
it’s also cheaper to buy at the pharmacy than it is to buy at the woodworking shops as a finish. same stuff tho.
