i personally take in extra virgin when i do beef spaghetti and it taste just great. Normally oil will do but then I realize it'll be good if you can just make a few drop on top with sesame seed before you eat the spaghetti laugh.gif

Good:
-for cooking: virgin olive oil (light, quick cooking), cold pressed organic red palm oil (Carotino brand is not that good: it contains canola oil), virgin coconut oil, butter (yes, butter). I mix the usual palm oil with organic red palm oil.
-to be eaten raw or as a dip: extra virgin olive oil (absolutely not suitable for cooking), flax seed oil, basically any cold pressed organic vegetable oil.

Bad:
canola oil, commercial soy oil, commercial corn oil, margarine, processed fats/oil, hydrogenated fats/oils.
------
I'd rather just stick with the usual palm oil. It's not the best, but at least it's stable in heat, and not hydrogenated like crazy.

Learn to read the labels: look for 'cold pressed' and 'organic' (they cost more though).
Avoid 'hydrogenated', 'canola'.

hey iamyuanwu, where could i get some cold pressed organic red palm oil since carotino isnt a good choice? Tried finding in shelves of oils, I don't see other red oils than carotino for the time being...
