Vegetable oil is the least healthy

Eight of the most unhealthy vegetable oils include:
  1. Corn oil
  2. Canola (also called rapeseed oil)
  3. Cottonseed oil
  4. Soy oil
  5. Sunflower oil
  6. Safflower oil
  7. Grapeseed oil
  8. Rice bran oil

actually olive oil not suited for high heat.

for high heat coconut oil more stable.
Is it better to cook with virgin or extra virgin olive oil?


Typically, olive oil is a safer bet when cooking because of the higher smoke point and neutral flavor
Tiagong extra virgin olive oil then suitable for high heat cooking.
So extra virgin olive oil is ok for frying food? Normal olive oil not ok?

I'm confused with Google results

Actually olive oil is not for high smoking point cooking. It is for low to medium cooking.
For frying chicken at medium heat is ok since frying chicken is done at medium heat

Not many food are fried at high smoke point.

Unless you spending the last minute frying chicken to get it's outer skin extra crispy.
