While trans fat in cooking oil clogs up arteries, rice bran oil lowers
cholesterol.  They
do not have the exact opposite effect, but it's good enough for me.  A
Googol search for "rice bran oil" turns up some articles:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/05/050512110703.htm

http://www.californiariceoil.com/healthbenefits.htm

http://www.oilseedssf.com/products/prod_rice.html

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/RiceBranOil.htm

http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/127/3/521S

The last reference says even more cholesterol lowering is possible if
safflower oil is blended with rice bran oil in a 70/30 % (rice
bran/safflower) ratio.

Does anyone have any good experience with rice bran oil?  It has a very high
smoking point.  I use it for deep frying and some say it has a pleasant
smell.  Not being a cook, I could not distinguish the smell from other oils.

    In India Safflower oil has been  in use for many centuries
and the rice bran oil has been in the market for the last
three decades . Rice bran oil is cheaper where as the
safflower of late has become expensive . It is prescribed
for people with heart disease and hypertensiom by almost
all the cardiologists .
