Answer 2

The best and healthiest cooking oils are the ones that are cold or expeller pressed. Canola, Safflower, Sunflower are excellent. Olive oil is also good but it will smoke sooner at high temperature. If the label doesn't specify cold/expeller pressed it means that the oil has been extracted using a solvent and has been heated once. Avoid them if you have a choice.
