Ruhl, would you provide a link to some peer-reviewed research to back-up your statement please? :-)

Please forgive me if my request seems picky or fussy. It's just that sometimes claims are sometimes based more on preference or belief than facts. We need to be careful about what to accept! ...

We can certainly agree that eating a few whole walnuts in a day may be beneficial in some ways, especially if eating the walnuts helps a person avoid eating animal products or junk food. However, the oil may be less beneficial since it is too easy to over-consume it and it has had many of the beneficial elements of whole nuts removed such as the fiber, protein & minerals.

Here is an example of a report based on peer-reviewed research. I hope you find this of interest. :-)
