Which oil has better flavor for baking cookies corn or canola?

Sure can. All oils can usually be substituted for one another in most recipes. Corn oil, soybean oil (vegetable), and canola(rape seed) oils are all highly processed (chemically) synthetic oils. Olive oil, peanut oil and safflower oil are three natural mechanically processed oils which also act the same way as the above oils in recipes. Safflower oil most nearly has the same properties as canola (rape weed) oil.

Fast food is almost all corn. The meat is meat you might say, but they feed animals corn to fatten them up and when processed, you are actually eating corn. Good documentary if you don't mind knowing what you are actually eating.
