One must be cautious & educated in the role that good, fresh, non-rancid oils play in you & your family's health. To make a very long story short, use the freshest olive oil for the savory world and the freshest organic corn, safflower, canola etc. for the sweet world. There is also a non-hydrogenated shortening sold in better food stores by Spectrum Naturals that is great for the upcoming dessert season! Always smell your oils and if it doesnt smell right, toss it! Rancidity in oils and foods that have natural oil content such a nuts and seeds should also always be bought from the best & freshest sources. These foods can go bad too.
