According to Dr. Fred Pescatore, author of "Thin For Good", olive oil is still a good choice, but not the best one.
He's been recommending macadamia nut oil as the first choice. "It has the perfect 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids. Its smoke point is one of the highest at 410F therefore; your patients can fry, saute, and even bake with it without any risk of trans fatty acid formation. And, the very best thing is that it is highest in monounsaturated fats at 85% - making it, in my opinion, the heart healthiest oil around."
In multiple studies, this particular oil has been shown to help raise HDL levels, and lower triglyceride and LDL levels.
If you have difficulty finding pure 100% macadamia nut oil, he does mention one brand name, Macnut Oil. To find out where to find it in your area, you can go to http://www.macnutoil.com/where2.asp . Or you might just try putting "macadamia nut oil" into your search engine.
I couldn't find a specific comparison about sesame seed oil, but here is a site that provides that information about several commonly used oils: http://www.i-75.com/MissTiny/macoil.htm .
