Healthy cooking oils: Olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, flaxseed oil, corn oil, avacado oil almond oil, hazelnut oil, grapeseed oil, sesame oil and walnut oil avoid these oils coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, saflower oil.

Depends on how hot: Depends on whether you are using high heat or low heat. Look into something called the smoke points of cooking oils. You will find a comprehensive chart. We think coconut oil is the best for high heat. I believe it is the only oil that doesn't effect cholesterol. And you can use good olive for low heat situations, like flavorings, gravies, and dressings.

Number 1 - olive oil: Olive oil contains lots of beneficial and anti-inflammatory compounds. Not so good for very high heat cooking, though, but perfectly fine for lower heat such as saute'.
