Cooking with high heat isn't really desirable .. not just because of the fats, but because high temperatures can alter and damage the proteins in food which may be unhealthy in the long run. Moderate temperatures and longer cooking may be preferable. Check out this article Beat the Heat from Nutrition Action newsletter.
