Fry food with Olive Oile
Eating fried food may not be bad for the heart, as long as you use olive or sunflower oil to make it, experts say.
They found no heightened risk of heart disease or premature death linked to food that had been cooked in this way.
But the investigators stress that their findings, from studying the typical Spanish diet in which these "healthy" oils are found in abundance, do not apply to lard or other cooking oils.
So traditional fry ups should not be the order of the day, bmj.com reports.

So now corn/coconut oil is out of the picture?
Any decent cook/chef will tell you that olive oil in not suitable to fry in. Use sunflower, peanut or crisco (lard)
I prefer sunflower for vegetarian cooking, olive oil for salads and mustard for non-veg curries. I have been told that the life style and the gene is the determining factor..the oil makes little difference.
Coconut oil is the best for South Indian cooking.
Those days they used olive oil for BODY massage including private parts…THERE ARE PROOFS.............
They have been considered out now for awhile by certain doctors.It is funny for many old timers from countries like India and Sri Lanka who have for decades only used coconut oil for all their culinary purposes, and still lived to be 80+ and older.They just don't see what these "modern" docs are on about!
However I've heard some praises of virgin/white coconut oil and that it is still considered healthy by some, though I don't know if it's suitable for deep frying. In that case even olive oil is not suitable for deep frying either(though of course deep frying itself is never a recommended thing as far as heart healthy diets go!)
All in all sunflower is the best all purpose oil and olive oil is ideal for pastas, salad dressings etc.
