Basically all vegetable oils are shit. They were orignially machine oils made from crop waste. They have to be leeched & dissolved out with acetone & bleached to eliminate the stink. They really only started being added to foods as a form of quality shrinkflation during the 70s. And govt lobbying & corp marketing worked to frame them as healthy alternatives.

Canola oil (rapeseed oil)

Soybean oil

Corn oil

Sunflower oil

Safflower oil

Sesame oil

Grapeseed oil

Cottonseed oil

Palm kernal oil

Etc

The possible exceptions are:

Coconut oil

Avocado oil

& maybe "first cold press" extra virgin olive oil (tastes like shit IMO)

Hard to know if you're really getting what it says on the label with most olive oil (you're probably not). Avocado oil likely suffers from similar issues.

Best oils to cook with:

Beef tallow

Duck fat

Lard (bacon grease)

Real butter

Coconut oil
