Could you explain why olive oil and avocado oil should be used cold?

As in baking, pie crusts, etc.

Interesting article... I had to stop using coconut oil because of the high saturated fat content and cholesterol issues. I only used for baking, because it's got a hint of sweet.. EVOO and all these other oils are so good for you and I use them but I wish they had less calories .. Sunflower oil is popular here in Spain but I never use it as it's' refined and good for frying. I don't think it's popular in the US though.

What about nut oils like Hazelnut

I'm not familiar with that oil, is it a cooking oil?

Yes and buying American grown hazelnut oils (and sunflower oil) supports American farmers diversifying their crops
