olive oil is mostly monounsaturrated (which is neutral...not good for you, not bad for you), whereas safflower oil and sunflower oil are mostly polyunsatturated (which is really good for you). Also, safflower oil has a very high smoke point, so you can fry things to high temperatures without worrying about getting cancer.
