Which cooking oil is good for me?

Cooking oils differ mostly in their fats: how much is saturated, how much is omega-3 and omega-6, and how much vitamin E they bring. Pick a recipe that uses oil and see how each oil changes it, in the same amount.

How an oil is used matters too: some are better for high heat, others for dressings. Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian about fats and your health.
