I appreciate this answer. Residing primarily in the US (for now), I have been on a solid ketogenic diet for the past year. In the last 6 months, I've been following research on how the body and brain process seed oils, beyond just the issues of seed oil industrial production. It seems there's an issue with quantity (our early ancestors would never have ingested the amounts of oil from seeds, even in one sitting, that we currently commonly consume) and an issue with the type of long chain fatty acid that makes up seed oils (it takes a lot of inefficient work for cells to break it down for energy, particularly in the brain, and leaving the high amounts of oxidative stress.) But I'm not sure if tahini strictly falls into this category. For myself, I'll look into it.

Here's an interesting interview that includes a discussion on this research by Dr. Georgia Ede. Seed oil discussion begins at 10:05, and the specifics on oxidative stress begin at 12:45. I think the entire segment on seed oils is 5 minutes in total:
