Is it safe to heat olive oil?

‘Of the different fats that make up olive oil, the predominant type are mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). This fat is more resistant to the damaging changes incurred when oil is heated. In fact, oleic acid (the predominant MUFA found in olive oil) is thought to be 50 times less likely to oxidise (combine with oxygen and create harmful substances called free radicals) than linoleic acid, the main fat found in poly-unsaturated (PUFA) vegetable oils like sunflower and corn oil. This makes olive oil a healthier choice for shallow frying, grilling or baking.’ -BBC Good Food
