All cooking oils have their own benefits and adverse effects. In a general household, choosing an oil depends upon the type of food being cooked. Some studies have revealed that coconut oil is healthier than sunflower / safflower oil, if not of the same nutritive value. The rest is simple marketing strategy. Also, the latter are preferred due to their neutral taste in contrast to coconut oil, which has a certain taste to it. Baking / Grilling food are better alternatives than cooking in oil. Another event alternative is air cooking.
