(mis)Adventures in Cooking

let me see if i got this right.

Wrong again as usual.

There is no comparison, and you are wrong when you infer another more expensive oil to be somehow better.


Is Olive Oil Better?

Olive oil has a lower smoke point than sunflower oil and, thus, should be cooked with at a lower temperature. That said, because olive oil is more likely to remain stable at higher temperatures than sunflower oil, it is considered a good option to use when cooking for health benefits.

Both oils contain “good” fats that can benefit your overall health. Saying one oil is better than the other wouldn’t paint the proper picture because, while one is better than the other for certain types of cooking, the two both have healthful properties when eaten moderately.

you have a right to your opinion.
i don't know if anybody is wrong.
i'm sure some will say one is better than the other.
both do have good qualities but i still think olive oil is better.

AI generated----just something to think about
Generally, olive oil is considered healthier than sunflower oil, particularly when focusing on extra virgin olive oil. While both are plant-based oils, olive oil, especially extra virgin, is richer in monounsaturated fats (like oleic acid) and antioxidants (like polyphenols), which have been linked to various health benefits, including heart health. Sunflower oil, especially the standard variety, tends to be higher in omega-6 fatty acids, which can be inflammatory in excess.
