most of them dont know which type of oil to use and start using them and then get life threatening diseases like heart attack ,obesity ,cardiovascular problems etc., but think wisely do we require oil ,are animals and plants not living without this oil?yes they are living we dont at all require oil we are just habituated from our generations to use them because we cant eat food without cooking it in oil even doctors advice us to use only one spoon of oil. now coming to the point which to use either animal oil or vegetable oil,researches have found that people using animal oil are having more risks than vegetable oil why because its the fatty acids which are present in the oil making them worse there are three types of fatty acids saturated fatty acids(not good)=ground nut oil,palm oil,mustard oil mono unsaturated fatty acids(good)=sunflower oil poly unsaturated fatty acids(better)=soya oil out of these doctors recommend only poly unsaturated fatty acid example "soya oil" all the above oils are good when you use them directly i mean without heating them but whenever you heat them and use them in food they go directly into stomach and liver is going to convert that fat into cholesterol which is harmful to body all of the oils contains 0% cholesterol why because they are made from vegetables ,it is we who are creating cholestrol by heating them so finally my advice is to use vegetable oil and only few spoons ,its better if you dont at all use them and prefer boiling rather than frying. so take care life is in our hands , we are the creators and we are the destroyers,god is only the ruler.

Of course vegetable oil is far better than animal oil, because the fat percentage ism ore in the latter one. My dietitian has allowed me to have 3-4 teaspoon of vegetable oil daily. SO, I don't think it is much harmful. And you say we can cook food without oil, we just do it because our ancestors have used it. Well, our ancestors have worked hard to find out a way so that the food tastes better, or else it will be equivalent to eating GRASS! The oil adds a delicious taste to the food, which we enjoy. Food cooked without oil is always tasteless and people cannot afford to eat it daily! At least we in INDIA cannot live without OIL!
