Can anyone go definitive on these questions please?

Is coconut oil ok to eat/ cook with or not? Loads of people rave about it and then it was pronounced completely bad for you.

Should I be doing any cooking with olive oil? or does heating it destroy its goodness.
Cheers

We are urged to eat less fat and the fat we do eat should be unsaturated, at least, and polyunsaturated at best. Coconut oil is nearly all saturated fat.

As long as you are not deep frying in olive oil, keeping the oil at high temperatures for extended timescales it is unlikely to be a health risk.
