My 2 oils of choice are EVOO - fresh, for salad - and rice bran oil for frying. When researching smoke points and other oil related health issues I found bran and grapeseed to be the best for high heat cooking, with bran winning the tie break by affordability. What did I miss?

I would replace the Rice Bran with Coconut oil or EVOO. EVOO is fine to fry in 90% of the time. For that 10%, I use Organic unrefined coconut oil.

Here is some info on EVOO

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and other common cooking oils were heated up to [460 degrees F] and exposed to [350 degrees F] for 6 hours, with samples assessed at various times, testing smoke point, oxidative stability, free fatty acids, polar compounds, fatty acid profiles and UV coefficients. EVOO yielded low levels of polar compounds and oxidative byproducts, in contrast to the high levels of byproducts generated for oils such as canola oil.

Was this actual (tested to be) EVOO or stuff in a bottle labelled EVOO? Apparently, much of the latter isn’t extra virgin and quite a bit isn't even olive oil, so it's important to distinguish...
