High oleic sunflower oil is generally considered good, especially for heart health, because it's rich in
heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) that lower bad LDL cholesterol and raise good HDL, plus it's more stable for cooking than regular sunflower oil. While regular sunflower oil high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) can be unstable and potentially inflammatory, high-oleic varieties provide a stable, beneficial fat source, making them a better choice for general and higher-heat cooking when used in moderation.
