Which oils should be chosen for cooking to remain healthy ?

Answer

Choose oils with unsaturated fatty acids, such as sunflower, groundnut, mustard or olive oil.

Oils containing unsaturated fatty acids should be chosen, for example vegetable oils such as sunflower, groundnut, mustard or olive oil. Animal fats, and hydrogenated fats such as vanaspati ghee, contain saturated fatty acids, which are said to be harmful for health. Naming a suitable edible oil also earns the mark.
