What type of cooking oil is the healthiest?

We used to use sunflower oil & mustard oil earlier.But here after consulting doctors we are using soyabean oil.It is very good for stomach,anti cancer with antioxidants.It is also not fattening.

I can't tell you which oil is personally best for you. After researching the information we use cocnut oil and olive oil the most. Here are a few facts that we learned. Canola oil is low in saturated fatand high in monounsaturated fat. Is surpose to lower the risk of heart diease. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat and antioxidants. Its at its healthiest when it is uncooked. Surpose to help lower cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of cancer. Butter is all natural, no chemicals. Offers sources of vitamins A,E,K, and D. Coconut oil raises the metabolic rate. Causing the body to burn up more calories.

Oils high in monounsaturated fat (which only lower LDL "bad cholesterol") and low in saturated fat (which increase LDL) like olive oil, canola oil, and peanut oil (in said order) are healthier than other vegetable oils. However, coconut oil having the highest saturated fats among vegetable oils are mostly medium-chain saturated fats that does not change chemically with very high temperature and makes it one of the best cooking oil.

I use olive oil too. I also use vegetable oil for somethings like baking cakes. I think olive oil is pretty healthy. It's the one my doctor recommended.

Hi dimples! I think Olive oil is the best oil to use. While increasing olive oil in our diet we also need to reduce animal fats to obtain a perfect combination for prevention of fatal diseases like arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, gallstones and many more.

OLIVED OIL has many health benefits,although more expensive than other oils.Its has mono-unsaturated fatand is the preferred cooking oil n the mediterranean countries. Studies that found that the consumption of olive oil can lower the risk of coronary heart disease by reducing blood cholesterol level and blood clot formation. Research has also found that olive oil may influence body fat distribution, with less fat stored around stomach.Olive oil is thought to offera number of other health benefits, including reduced risk of some cancer, reduced risk of diabetes,and possibly a delayed onset of complications in established diabetes. It contains many a antioxidant phytochemicals that have many halth benefits.YOu can used for preparing salad dressing, seasoning for soups,for sauting vegetables and for grilling.

I think that vegetable oil is the healthiest out of all oil yea .

I like to use extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil.

For years, we have used vegetable oil. then my mom went to using Canola Oil, which she said was better for your health and such. Now, she uses Olive Oil, which is darn good. They even got it for hair as well. But Canola, Vegetable and Olive.

Well I have never researched this but have been told that peanut oil is better than vegetable oil. I have reason to believe it is true because I have since used peanut oil to fry my french fries and I noticed they are not as greasy when using the peanut oil.

try using vegestable oil..it is good for the heart..

I think most plant oils are healthy, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil...

hi... i pick olive oil. good for the heart and decreases bad cholesterol. i don't know about coconut oil... since for coconuts are high in calories

Coconut oil is amazing! Go to http://www.tropicaltraditions.com to read more about it. Of course you'd want to use the virgin coconut oil or the expeller pressed if you're going to ingest it. The refined type can clog up your arteries. Olive oil is great for cooking/frying if you don't try to reuse it after you've used it to fry. Just put a light coating in your skillet to fry foods and don't reuse. The heat changes the composition of the olive oil and it isn't as healthy.
