Same here.

It’s ok to use in baking it doesn’t reach the smoking temperature. You would not stir fry in it, and if you tried you’ll clearly see the smoke.

Not just Italians. Most Mediterranean cuisines uses it in almost everything.
Not deep frying. For one bc it is expensive and you need a lot!

You don't use extra virgin in high heat applications because the heat changes the flavor profile and you lose the olivey goodness making it no different from regular or light olive oil.
That's it. It's not bad for you, it's just a waste of good olive oil.
Evoo has a lower smoke point so it should not be used for high heat cooking. Other types like avocado are safer. Stick with evoo for non cooking uses like salad dressing etc.

I thought canola was unhealthy for some reason. Inflammation?
I heard something similar so we are back to using veg oil for high heat and olive oil for most other things.
not pp but I thought canola is a type of veg oil?
It is. Vegetable oil just means plant-based. Canola oil is made from rapeseed which makes is technically a vegetable oil.
