A member asked:
Is it safe to consume vegetable/canola/sunflower/corn type of oils without cooking them? i just pour over my pasta, but not actually cook with them.

Yes, however...: Cooking makes virtually all oils more toxic so it is far better to have them raw than cooked. However, many nutrition experts advise avoiding most vegetable oils. Olive oil would be a better choice than any of the ones you mention.
