Answer 1

olive oil is good, canola oil is the best.....vegtable oil could be from like one of 4 differnet veggies.....read the bottle of veggie oil and find out what kind of oil it really is

Answer 2

No, olive oil and vegetable oil are not the same thing. Olive oil is healthy by far in trans fats. However, the down side is it is very expensive.

Answer 3

Olive oil is a type of vegetable (plant) oil, but not all vegetable oils are olive oil. Most vegetable oils are blended from a couple of different kinds of vegetables.
And yes olive oil (especially extra virgin, as its not heat treated) is good for you because it contains poly unsaturated fats and lipids which are supposed to help lower the "Bad" Cholesterol in your blood, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Most vegetable oils do, but not palm oil and avocado oils, both of which contain saturated fats.
But if your dieting, or watching your weight, remember that is it is still a fat, with the same amount of calories as other fats, so take it easy.

Answer 4

No. It is not the same, it does not even compare.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Have a good night.

Answer 5

Three things make olive oil superior to vegetable oils: taste, nutrition and integrity.

Taste is the most obvious difference between olive oil and the commercially popular vegetable oils such as corn, soybean and canola oils. These oils are tasteless fats. You would not want to eat a piece of bread dipped in vegetable oil; for the same basic reason, many chefs refrain from adding tasteless fat to the foods they prepare. When you cook with oil, get the most flavor and texture you can.

Olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, adds a flavor and textural dimension lacking in other oils, making it a suitable substitute for butter and margarine in almost any recipe. In fact, more and more restaurants are serving extra virgin olive oil, both plain or flavored with salt and pepper, as an alternative to butter for bread.

Nutritionally, olive oil contains more monounsaturated fat than any of the popular vegetable oils. For more information on the nutritional qualities of olive oil versus other oils and fats, please refer to the last chapter in this booklet.

Moreover, vegetable oils are industrial, processed foods. Vegetable oils are generally extracted by means of petroleum-based chemical solvents, and then must be highly refined to remove impurities. Along with the impurities, refining removes taste, color and nutrients.

Extra virgin olive oils are not processed or refined. It is said that you do not make extra virgin olive oil, you find it. Extra virgin olive oil is essentially "fresh squeezed" from the fruit of the olive tree, without alteration of the color, taste, and nutrients or vitamins. Because of the integrity of the product, and its antioxidant components, olive oil will keep longer than all other vegetable oils.

Answer 6

NO, its not the same! Olive oil is made from the olive...and vegetable is made from vegetables. Olive oil is healthier for you than the others. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease when people replace oils high in saturated fat with the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.
