It is, actually. Like most nuts (and a few other foods), peanut oil includes among its fats a high level of monounsaturated fats, which actually have a net positive effect. Polyunsaturated fats are the next best (largely neutral), while saturated fats are a big villain, health-wise. Peanut oil is very good for frying, because it doesn't smoke until you get it very hot (hotter than home cooks are ever likely to reach). So unless you're allergic to peanuts, peanut oil is a good choice (and it doesn't have a heavy peanut taste, like you might think).
