Here's a guide on the good choice of cooking oils.

For salads:
~ olive oil
~ grapeseed oil
~ flaxseed oil
~ peanut oil
* lower smoke point (190 degrees celsius and below = burnt easily)

For frying:
~ safflower oil
~ corn oil
~ sunflower oil
~ canola oil
~ soy oil
* higher smoke point (above 190 degrees celsius)

No matter which oil you choose, do use them sparingly. It's fat afterall!
