Coconut oil is the best of all the oils, hands down, no contest. It's the be all & end all. It's the bees knees. Do your own research online. The stuff is amazing. It has an indefinite shelf life, the highest flash point of all oils & has the most health benefits as I've commented on elsewhere. Yes it has saturated fats, but they are good saturated fats that actually eat up all your bad cholesterol. The medical profession knows about it too. It's the "new" super-food. Health Centres right across Europe & America are springing up in recent times treating all manner of illnesses with nothing but coconut oil. It is anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal & anti-viral. It does not require all the various biles, etc that the other oils do. It absorbs directly into your small intestine in the same way as sugar does. When used in cooking, it does not convert into trans-fats like other oils tend to do. There's no real limit to how much one can take either, unlike other oils. Coconut oil, the really good organic stuff, is very expensive here & olive oil is quite cheap because we make it here, so if you've got coconut oil, then use it!!!

In our house we use canola oil, because it's what is recommended by the doctor in frying. It's said to be a healthy oil other than Virgin oil which costs a lot on the pocket.
