In a previous article, I discussed various types of fats such as trans-fat, monounsaturated fat, etc. But you may be wonder what kind of oil or foods contain more of the better fats. For example, if you have to use oil in cooking, what are the best oils to use and why? You probably hear about recommendations for olive oil, canola oil, etc. This page shows very good information about the percentage of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated fats in many different types of oils. The worst oils are: butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, lard, margarine (hard), palm oil, palm kernel oil. The best are: mustard, conola, almond, macadamia nut, olive, and soybean, flaxseed oil. An added benefit of conola, soybean, and flaxseed oils is that they are high in omega-3.
