Extra-virgin olive oil: Olive oil is the healthiest oil you can buy, as it contains the highest monounsaturate content. But because it has a low smoke point, it should not be used for cooking.

I've been using Grapeseed Oil for cooking for about a year now and I love it!!! Once Olive Oil hits a certain temperature (it's smoke point) it starts to break down and actually creates harmful free radicals and it becomes very unhealthy (some even say cancer-causing). Olive Oil has a low smoke point.
Anyway, I love Grapeseed Oil and think it tastes better than Olive Oil. It has a very mild taste, actually I don't even taste it at all vs. the strong taste of Olive Oil (which is still the healthiest of oils as long as you don't cook with them).
There is lots of info on this topic on the internet if you want to research it more.
Just some food for thought.
