It is important not to be deceived; the quality of a vegetable oil should not be measured by the presence or absence of cholesterol, but by its processing and purity in extraction. It should be noted that all oils are liquid at room temperature. This is due to the high proportion of unsaturated or "good" fats they contain. Thus, animal fats are solid at room temperature. In this case, it is because most of the fats they contain are saturated or harmful to health. Oils, in addition to containing different percentages of fatty acids or fats depending on the type, also contain vitamin E, lecithin, and sterols (which would be equivalent to the cholesterol in animals, but do not have its effects). A significant part of the importance of consuming vegetable oils is that they are practically the only or most important source of certain fats that are essential for our body: these are what they call unsaturated fats. The higher their percentage, the more beneficial their consumption will be for our health.

Among the most interesting oils for our health, we find: olive, sunflower, corn, walnut, wheat germ, and soybean oils.
