A member asked:
What is "high oleic" sunflower oil, and is it healthier than normal sunflower oil? what about compared to olive oil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More oleic,maybe,not: High oleic sunflower oil has at least 80% monounsaturated oleic acid ; is likely healthier than regular sunflower oil which has more unstable polyunsaturated fats, but still is not a healthy oil and not as healthy as olive oil.
