A dietitian told me which oil is best not to fry with.

The specialist named vegetable oils: sunflower, corn, olive. According to him, olive is the most useful, and sunflower is the most harmful. But olive oil is the most expensive option, so it is not for everyone.

Therefore, the “average” option in terms of benefits and budget is corn oil.

The doctor explained why sunflower oil is considered the most harmful for frying. When heated in excess, the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in this product lose their properties. As a result, these substances can lead to chronic inflammation, which can provoke cognitive problems and the development of Alzheimer's disease.

“Recently, a good alternative has appeared – high-oleic sunflower oil – an oil in which omega 6 acids are replaced by oleic acid, the content of which in some varieties reaches 80%,” the nutritionist advised.
