Hmm in 2010 the video says 80 gm per day veg oil consumed in US.
1 Tbsp Soybean Oil. Nutrition Facts. Soybean Oil. Serving Size: tbsp (14g grams). Amount Per Serving. Calories from Fat 122. Calories 104. % Daily Value*.
So 80 gm is 6 Tbsp per day. So not that hard to get lots of soybean oil from salad dressing.
Soybean oil is 54% om-6 and olive oil is 9% om-6.
So if om-6 is the culprit then olive oil is 1/6 or 16% as bad as soybean oil.
So cut om-6 from dressing by 1/6 by using olive oil based dressings or some people use greek yogurt based dressings.
Therefor om-6 is not the culprit. Something else in soy...
The studies cited seem to indicate that om-6 is the culprit or well could be. Sat fat alone is not harmful nor are complex carbs alone, from the tribes studied. One tribe lived mostly on sweet potatoes with a little meat added and had no heart disease. It was common wisdom that bread makes you fat until 'science' came along and pronounced it an old wives tale.
Then something better in olive oil vs others because I do not believe olive oil is bad for anybody...barring some weird allergy...
I think the om-6 is dose dependent like most things. So olive oil is 1/6 as bad for you as soybean oil.
If your only olive oil is from salad dressing then that is not much.
I read that in ancient times olive oil was used mostly for grooming, for skin and hair care, not for eating. Not sure how true that is. Hmm. Below it is not clear how much consumption meant eating vs other uses.

Romans really enjoyed in culinary delights that olive oil offers. An ordinary Roman may have used a fourth of a coup of olive oil daily, or about 500 calories consumed from olive oil each day, whether in baking, roasting or drizzling.
Olive oil had many uses in ancient Greece, differing according to social status. Poor people, for instance, did not consume olive oil but ate many cereals. The rich, on the other hand, were able to use olive oil in cooking, for cleaning their bodies and for lighting.
Olive oil was also a valuable medicine in the hands of ancient Greek doctors. Hippocrates mentions 60 different conditions which could be treated with it, such as skin conditions, wounds and burns, gynaecological ailments, ear infections and many others.
