Is it true that seed oils such as sunflower and soybean oil lower LDL cholesterol compared with saturated fats?

Yes. A 2018 network meta-analysis reported in a Skeptics.SE answer found that replacing butter with sunflower or soybean oil reduced LDL cholesterol, and other sources note saturated fats raise LDL while sunflower/soybean oils are high in polyunsaturated fats.
