Below; oils to use raw, on salads or other foods, but not to cook with:
Organic extra virgin olive oil [slow cooking at low temps is OK, per a different section of the book - Narg]
Walnut oil
Almond oil
Macadamia oil
Sesame oil
Tahini (sesame seed paste)
Flax oil
Hemp oil
Fats and oils to AVOID:
Soybean oil
Canola oil
Corn oil
Safflower oil
Sunflower oil
Palm oil
Peanut oil
Vegetable oil
Vegetable shortening
Margarine and all other butter substitutes, including the newest ones, which actually include butter among the ingredients
Anything that says "hydrogenated' -- it's poison
Anything else that looks fake
One caution: many GOOD oils on the market are adulterated with cheaper oils, including (perhaps even especially) olive oil from Italy, where criminal gangs apparently make drug-lord amounts of money adulterating olive oil (per Dr. Hyman). Be careful of your source! I buy California Estate Organic Extra Virgin olive oil from Life Extension mainly because LEF is careful about ingredients in what they sell.
IMO, nothing is good for frying. Fried food is often tasty but never very good for one's health, and often (especially long-term) very unhealthy.
