Thanks.  I usually fry in peanut or corn oil.  I don't have any kind of
canola or "salad oil" in my kitchen.  I'm not opposed to sunflower oil,
but the price is enough to knock you over.  I'm usually happy with
peanut oil.

Yeah---I think I heard good things about peanut oil, though I think the
experts might not dispute the top-rank of coconut oil.  I stopped using
anything based on soy and now when I do eat---restaurants, say---I
notice a certain difference.

Doesn't coconut oil raise bad cholesterol?

 I don't think so.  And I think there's no bad cholesterol either.  The
last papers I read say that a mildly high cholesterol (of any kind)
gives you benefits.  For instance, there's a certain correlation between
high cholesterol (of the ``bad'' kind) and good brain health.

The human body contains more than one type of cholesterol.  One is good, the other not so much.
Anyone can write an article about their beliefs about cholesterol.  I prefer to listen to my doctor.
