COTTONSEED OIL

Cottonseed oil, extracted from cotton seeds, is used in some margarines and in commercially made salad dressing.  The ancient Chinese used the oil as a medicine and a lamp oil.

Until the middle of the 19th century when cottonseed oil production began, so much cotton seed was left over from cotton production, that it was considered a health problem.
