Corn Oil

Corn Oil is derived from inside the tip of a corn kernel, also know as the germ. It is used as a cooking oil, primarily in frying. As corn is a major American commodity, corn oil is frequently cheaper than other vegetable oils.
Food Uses and Controversy

Most manufactured corn oil is sold bottled for cooking use, though a significant portion is contained in margarine and used for frying in snack products such as potato chips.
Debate persists concerning the health benefits or risks of corn oil. The United States Department of Agriculture maintains that corn oil may help control blood cholesterol levels and are relatively cheap to use. The Mayo Clinic and WebMD articles also suggest that corn and other vegetable oils can help reduce cholesterol. Several organizations, however, including RealAge and Macrobiotic Guide, believe that corn oil has significantly high levels of polyunsaturated fats, and thus could counteract the positive effects on one's heart.
