  Not many realise that one of the most significant and constant consumptions of fat is through cooking oil. What is even more alarming is that while the quantity of fat consumed may still be an issue with health-conscious families, the quality of fat consumed is often overlooked. Yet, the latter could be the biggest determining factor for your health.
Types of cooking oils
Cooking oils can be divided into four main categories, according to the preponderance of various types of fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids (SFAs): Coconut oil, palm oil, butter and ghee are some food products that are high in SFA. 
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs): Mustard oil, olive oil, canola oil, groundnut oil, rice bran oil and sesame oil arc primarily made up of these.
 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): Corn oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil and Soya oil are some of the oils that contain large quantities of this group of acids.
