Hello mmng23,
Vegetable oils that are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are thought to be unhealthy for adults. In adults it has been linked with breast cancer occurring in women who are post menopausal. For more information on this check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_fats_and_oils
Some vegetable oils such as coconut oil which is high saturated fatty acids have been repeatedly linked to cardiac problems and, therefore are not ideal for children. However, many vegetable oils such as olive oil which are high in monounsaturated fatty acids are considered to be healthy alternatives. Children who are allergic to peanuts should be careful when using peanut oil as there have been some cases when it has caused reactions. Other than these issues most healthy vegetable oils are pretty safe for children to use. Nevertheless even if the healthiest vegetable oil is used in excess frequently it can lead to weight gain and obesity even among children.
The list of healthy vegetable oils is pretty extensive and it is easy to find them on store shelves, for a good list check this link http://life.familyeducation.com/foods/nutrition/36579.html
