I've always used extra virgin olive oil for years despite knowing it has a low smoke point and it breaks down at around 180 degrees. Therefore it basically sucks dick since you don't get anything good out of using it in cooking.

But what is the healthiest oil to use in cooking?

Normal olive oil. ALL seed oils are bad for your health

There's no one measurement of healthiness. People like olive oil for it's omega-3 fatty acids but they breakdown with heat anyway. It's only worth having olive oil for health reasons if its raw, as in a salad.

For cooking I use sunflower oil. It's practically the lowest in saturated fat which, despite what keto retards will tell you, is demonstrably bad for you.

So judging by this chart it looks like sunflower / safflower are the tits. Because they also have relatively high smoke points so you'll actually still be able to get their health benefits since they won't break down. Correct?

That chart is bullshit. Coconut oil is the healthiest.

Just go for normal oils that can be extracted without advanced technology. This mainly excludes vegetable and most seed oils. Peanut is a seed but that oil can be squeezed out. Alternate between the remaining oils to ensure a reasonable balance.

I use sunflower. Same reason as >>12300770 says. You can use it basically identically to canola/corn/vegetable oil and it's much healthier, without being stupidly expensive.

Sunflower is not healthy at all. It's almost as bad as canola. You probably already have some form of cancer.

Yup. Only concern is don't do something like buy a huge barrel because you want it to last years because it'll go bad in around a year.

I'm not taking seriously any poster who brazenly spouts shit like this.

One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that evoo is not suitable for cooking. Just flat out misinformation.

>"Extra virgin olive oil’s smoke point is generally given as 410 degrees Fahrenheit, which gives plenty of room for the 250-350 degrees Fahrenheit that covers most cooking,” says Karen Collins, a nutrition adviser for the American Institute for Cancer Research, a nonprofit which funds cancer-prevention research
