Is olive oil bad for you?
I know its better for you than using vegetable oil etc
I use it quite often in my cooking and I use the olive spread too.
for the record, I dont put olive oil any where near my cake  |

"Apparently olive oil should not be used for frying as in vapour form their are toxins given off. Not sure how true this is...."
This only applies to extra virgin olive oil, which should be used raw in dressing.
Light oil is good to cook with  |

"it's no better than other oils when used for cooking. the heat causes changes. a better one for cooking that heat doesn't change is coconut oil. "
Groundnut is good apparently as well |

Olive oil is great stuff but when heated, it turns into a trans fat so best eaten cold. All other vegetable oils are best completely avoided, very bad for you. Olive oil spread is vegetable oil, factory made with about 5-10% olive oil added.
Manufactures are now abandoning their original margarine recipe (closer to plastic than anything else) and adding butter to it.
Contrary to popular and misconstrued belief, saturated fat is very good for you but not in part of a diet that includes processed food. |
