Avoid cotton seed oil as the cotton plant is usually heavily sprayed with pesticides. Thus the oil may contain pesticide residues. Avoid all fried foods because frying, which heats the oil to a high temperature, will damage monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils. Cooking with small amounts of butter is preferred, as butter is more stable to heating. Butter has some problems too, such as residual hormones and pesticides but it is a whole food.
Whole foods have fat-mobilising nutrients to take care of their own fats if eaten in moderation.
If you want to use butter try to get organically produced butter. Ghee is the cooking fat most highly regarded by Indian and French chefs.
