Are there any health risks associated with cooking with cooking fat as opposed to oil? My mother used to cook with kimbo but i fear it could have long term effects eg. High predisposition to heart attacks due to clogged arteries. Any experts with their opinions?

Thats an easy defination.
Basically the unsaturated include the kimbos, cowboys and all the oils that are solid at room temperature. Not the best for health.
The healthier versions, unsaturated fats (mono and poly unsaturated) are best for general well being. The best is extra virgin olive oil but this is very expensive in Kenya because olives grow mainly in the mediterrenian temperatures. The same way coconut oil is very expensive for them. The benefits of olive oil are unparalled but since 90% of Kenyans cannot afford it, we can try cheaper alternatives such as sunflower oil which is also much more health beneficial than the kimbos (but not as cheap as well)
