It is not that corn oil is bad for you it is that it is a high source of Omega 6 and 9. These fatty acids have to be in a low ration to Omega 3s therefore, it is better to use a more neutral oil (like Canola or Olive). Then take into consideration that canola and olive oils are high in oleic acid (which some studies show down regulates Her 2), it adds more health benefits.

It is hard to get the Omega 3s up without the addition of flaxseed or its oil or fish oil tablets because it is only abundant in fatty fishes (halibut, salmon, mackerel), walnuts, flax and they are not foods consistently eaten all the time.

There are some great recent (the last few days) articles posted in the submitted articles section.
