Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Bragg Brand.
Olive oil is high on calories though. Must be cooked at very low temperatures and not too long.

Extra virgin olive oil is very very good and healthy

soyabean oil is the best any day, anytime, anywhere no cholesterol filled with the essential vitamins and plant proteins,

Palm oil(natural) in as much as we have gotten the industrial palm oil, the natural  one is no match to any form of oil, when it is cooked in it's natural form and not when the nutritive contents have been bleached,

Olive oil but it's so damn expensive. Alternatively, i use vegetable oil (it's not healthy though).

never heard of nigerians using animal oil to cook, sounds strange and unlikely imo.

Any oil without cholesterol is good for the body.

Canola oil I've discovered, is economical.
Moringa too.

Canola oil is actually the best (same in rank or second, only to olive oil). It has a very high smoke point; much better than soybean oil.

Yes it is. Also 0% cholesterol.

Canola oil isn't healthy for cooking. Olive oil isn't either; it's much
healthier to put it in food without heating it. When cooking with
oil, Coconut oil IS the healthiest oil to use.

Although coconut oil is low in cholesterol, it isnt healthier than canola or olive oil which are much lower in cholesterol. Any oil which is extremely high in saturated fat as coconut oil isnt heart friendly and so, isnt considered healthy

Nah, not true. I had a talk with a a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist two weeks ago and both confirmed it. Canola oil and olive oil are both cheap, but not healthy. As for olive oil, like I said, it's best to put it/sprinkle it in food, as you get the benefits from it that way, not when heated. Coconut oil trumps both.

I would have stated my opinion on the quoted part of your post but I dont engage in 'e-arguments'. It is a free world my sister, to each one his own.
