It increases cholesterol, though total cholesterol itself isn't a particularly useful marker
It is a hydrogenated oil made in a factory vat. Such a process usually results in transfats. Plus there are concerns around seed oils and inflammation that leads to atherosclerosis. Stick to natural foods like butter. The Paul Mason video linked by inasero is good.

Agree, coconut oil is good also.
Avoid seed and vegetable oils as they represent little nutritional benefit. The rise in use of these oils has a strong correlation with the rise is obesity and disease. They're created from food byproducts using modern manufacturing techniques and marketed as if theyre good for you so companies can turn a profit from something that historically would have been thrown in the trash.

Wesfarmers recently acquired Priceline & Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (API), and have now acquired InstantScripts.
one wonder what oil the restaurants, takeaways and fast food places use?
usually canola, it takes high heat so can be used in deep fryer or frying pans, and neutral taste so can be used in dressings …..
That sounds like either wishful thinking or a better, more expensive restaurant.
I believe it's safe to assume it's rather a cheaper oil like soybean oil. Happy to be corrected!
