I get the message that seed oils are bad, but I love peanut butter. Does this have natural anti oxidants from the peanuts to make it an OK snack?

Peanuts have lectins. And, when smashed, the oils are exposed to oxygen. Rancidity then becomes a factor.

And don't forget peanut butter can contain aflatoxins, which is a toxic mold.

So I assume you include avocado oil? Somewhere along the line I got the idea that it was one of the few veg oils ok to heat. Is that wrong?

If it is unsaturated, and avocado oil is unsaturated, I would NOT heat it.
