Yeah, extra virgin olive oil is one of the good ones and there's a sizeable research literature which backs that up. You can consume it liberally. Make sure you buy it in a dark glass container (since it's UV sensitive) and it should leave an itchy feeling in your throat after you swallow a teaspoon. Olive oil fraud is rather common and this is a method to detect that. There's some sites which analyse EVOO and rank them based on the above factors, I just pick the best brands from that list. Common advice is to avoid seed oils - the cheap stuff used in restaurants such as canola oil. We didn't evolve with this stuff, it contributes to inflammation and is generally not good for you, but is used because it's cheap and not illegal yet. |

I'd say common advice is to avoid cheap (refined) oils rather than seed oils. Point in case linseed oil is arguably even healthier than olive oil. Sunflower oil (cold pressed) is a great source of Vitamin E (in moderation because of omega 6:3 ratio). Cold pressed rapeseed oil (canola) is great, too. So is pumpkin seed oil ...
