You avoid refined oils specifically, or any foods containing poly-unsaturated fat? How about omega-3?

Palm oil has a significant percentage of Omega-6 oil. If it's in whatever's available to eat I don't worry about it too much. I understand Coconut oil is mostly refined without solvents, and that the refining process mostly has the effect of removing the allergens. Trader Joe's has a partially-refined low-odor coconut oil that I sometimes pick up. Extra virgin olive oil [EVOO] is okay in moderation; I prefer 'unfiltered' olive oil to plain EVOO.
Chicken fat is mostly polyunsaturated, as is pork (reflecting the fats in the animals' diets), so I try to avoid those fats too.
I never noticed a benefit from Omega-3 consumption. Omega-3 is an unstable polyunsaturate too. Avoiding the Omega-6 oils improves my ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 without any other efforts on my part.
