Neither good nor bad. Saturated fat content of
cottonseed oil is not much different than other
vegetable oils. Peanut and coconut oils are the
only really bad vegetable oils. I'm a bit suspicious
of safflower oil because it is so far in the other
direction -- it's the most unsaturated fat you can buy.
I remember the dish I kept my bottle of safflower in
developing a rubber-like layer of spilled oil.
Other oils don't do that. After a while, my doubts
kept gnawing at me, and I switched to other oils.
For a long time I used canola oil, but these days
it's mostly olive oil. I recently bought grapeseed
oil for frying because at the same time I bought
an expensive bottle of olive oil for non-frying
purposes, but I'll probably revert to a cheaper
olive oil and use it for everything on the next cycle.
