"The smoke point of an oil is defined as the temperature at which the fat produces a thin, continuous stream of bluish smoke under controlled circumstances. Although it had been assumed that smoke point indicated an oil’s safety and suitability for cooking, new research has shown that is not the case. An oil’s smoke point does not correlate to its performance and stability when heated. Rather, the factors that predict an oil's safety and stability at high heat are the percentage of polyunsaturated fats (the lower the better), and the extent to which the oil has been refined (the less the better). Extra virgin olive oil, which has a low concentration of polyunsaturated fat, and is not refined at all, proved the best oil for cooking. "

Smoke point isn’t the best measure of oil stability. Studies show extra virgin olive oil is the most stable cooking oil, even at high temperatures.

"While olive oil is widely celebrated for its positive effects on cardiovascular disease, concerns have lingered about its calorie density and potential to contribute to weight gain.

However, the research review showed that consuming seven grams of olive oil daily was associated with reduced weight gain over time, while other types of edible fats were linked to weight gain."

A review of 121,119 participants in the Nurses' Health Study found that consuming olive oil is associated with reduced weight gain over time.

"Thousands of studies have been published linking extra virgin olive oil consumption with a wide range of benefits, from its well-known heart-healthy qualities to more obscure ones, such as increasing testosterone in men with insufficient levels."

The health benefits of olive oil are mostly derived from monounsaturated fats and polyphenols. However, not all olive oils are created equally.
