Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fat that degrades readily and wrecks havoc on the body. Monounsaturated fats like oleic acid, which comprise the majority of olive oil and avocado oil, are far more stable and harmless, and saturated fats like Coconut oil, butter, and lard even far moreso. The body needs some polyunsaturated fats, especially a little bit of omega-3 fatty acids, but it does not need any concentrated doses of them from vegetable oils, which are harmful. Generally as a rule of thumb, the less linoleic acid in an oil, the better it is for your health; and for any amount of polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid, that fat is much worse for you if it is highly refined, old, or heated up.
Here's a rough chart of cooking oils I was able to whip up. Values are approximate and by volume.

| Olive Oil | 3-12 |
| Palm Oil | 10 |

| Avocado Oil | 10 |
| Flaxseed Oil | 14-22 |

| Canola Oil | 15-30 |
| Sunflower Oil (High-Oleic) | 20-30 |
