Olive oil has a higher percentage of monounsaturated fats when compared to corn oil. The exact ratios are as follows: 1  Corn oil: 59% polyunsaturated 24% monounsaturated 13% saturated, which give a 6.4:1 unsaturated/saturated fat ratio.
After 3 weeks on a diet rich in corn oil, subjects saw an 11% reduction in their LDL cholesterol levels. Three weeks on a diet rich in olive oil lowered cholesterol levels by 3.5%. This study (which is, so far, unpublished) was funded by companies that sell corn oil and conducted by a company that does nutritional research for hire. That doesn't mean that the results are invalid -- but it should be noted.
