What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

It is refined for higher smoke point so it can be used for high heat cooking. they do this by removing solids etc

this is done via chemical treatments. it is fine but oilive oil is not best all purpose and high heat cooking oil.

neutralize defects in taste, aroma, or acidity

that's an odd phrasing... you don't buy high heat cooking for any of that. more accurate way to put it is that they strip oil of taste and aroma that comes from solids in the cold pressed table grade oil.
