Corn oil

Explanation:

The most common cooking oil that is used in united states is Palm oil.

Compared to palm oil, corn oil has significantly lower amount of saturated fat (Palm oil contains 49% of saturated fat per 100 g of fat that it contains, while corn oil only contains 13% of saturated fat)

Corn oil is one of the healthiest choice of oil for someone who is concerned about their health like Layla, since saturated fat leads to the creation of cholesterol that blocks your blood vessels

. Over the long run, consuming cooking oil that is low in saturated fat will resulted in lower risk of heart diseases and stroke.
