How to different a healthy or bad oil?

Saw a very interesting article on the cooking oil.

monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat,  saturated fat



Does these term sounds familiar? So what to look for in a oil?



On top of the type of the fat, we do have to take look at the Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratio. The lower the Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio the better, as Omega 6 is the factor that leads to inflammation.



Out of all, if taking about lowering cholesterol and preventing cardio diseases, macadamia oil is so far the best, with the ratio of 1:1!
