You might be a little confused when it comes to deciding which oil to use for cooking or frying. I decide on the basis of taste, so there is no question, but not everyone is as simple as I am, unfortunately. (Lard is, I gather, completely outside the realm of consideration, though there may be people out there who still use it.) Your natural choices are: vegetable oil, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, and canola oil. Some are slightly healthier for you than others, but, considering that the difference is marginal, consider that some may smoke at lower temperatures than others. I choose to go with the one oil that I know (from experience) interferes with the taste of food the least: corn oil.
