Seems the evidence isn't that strong https://www.seriouseats.com/2015/03/cooking-with-olive-oil-faq-safety-flavor.html
Saying that, if you are avoiding it I've seen groundnut or rapeseed oil recommended.

when heated beyond the smoke point
Just means that it tastes bad and is an expensive way to make meat taste bad.
Rapeseed is good. Or cheap light olive oil.

recently heard cooking with olive oil can be a bit dodgy due to it's low smoke point and slightly raised cancer fears when heated beyond the smoke point
what is the best oil to cook with, searing meat, high temps on the hob type meals , frying veg in a large saucepan etc
just about to attempt some bengali chicken curry and need to fry the spices first in oil, think i'll avoid ghee, any recommendations
