This questions all frying.
I use also use olive oil for it, but think about switching
to cocos or palm fat because they have mostly saturated fat.

I thought monounsaturates (olive) are rather heat tolerating.
Surely saturates tolerate heat best.

Is heating Olive-oil discouraged in the Erasmus Book?
Recently Todd mentioned that he doesn't expect trans-fatty acids from
frying.
Can someone elaborate? The Erasmus-book seems to be recommendable?
