Canola oil is made from genetically modified rapeseed plants to tolerate the herbicide Roundup and is very dangerous to your health. https://www.naturalnews.com/055191_c...ncer_risk.html

Raw, extra-vigin coconut oil. Refined coconut oil is usually bleached or deodorized.
Extra-virgin oilive oil at low to medium-heat temperature.
Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, between 480 to 520 degrees. I use this when cooking stir-fry or other dishes that require high temperatures.

Mainly use coconut oil, unrefined. Grapeseed Oil is another one for us. Olive Oil when it comes to lower heat dishes and also on salad dressings. Shoofly is 100% correct on canola oil, but yet it is used so widely. It deprives your body of absorbing Vitamin E, and it is actually for machinery, and not an oil our bodies really know how to assimilate. I have also read that bacon fat from organic pigs and hogs is actually good. Same for real butter, but not margarine. Avocado Oil is also a great oil.

Corn oil for general purpose. Corn oil is better for you then most other oils. I never got on the Canola bandwagon. I use Infused olive oils sparingly to add flavor to vegetables. All the new seed oils are not worth the money to me. I use ghee butter along corn oil or bacon fat for sauteing, sauces, and gravies.

My favorites (and also recommended by my nutritionist) are avocado oil for general purpose use and walnut oil for eggs. It's pricey but gives them a nice flavor. I also use coconut oil for cooking kale and olive oil for some purposes.

Nice to see all the users of good oils on here. I mean unrefined coconut oil, bacon grease from the "good" pigs and such. I rendered my own lard last fall and still have a little left. That makes the best pie crust.
Your brain is made of fat and needs fat to keep it healthy. Corn oil and other vegetables oils are not good for us, especially margarine. Any Keto person will attest to that.
