It's not bad, it's not hydrogenated and can stand cooking at high temperatures without becoming a trans-fat.Is sunflower oil bad for you?
First, let's define what is good and what is bad!
Sunflower oil is not bad if you know to use it correctly and costs less than extra virgin olive oil, for example.
So, from the economical point of view, it is more economic, so it is good!
I don't agree with the previous answer just in one point: it doesn't resist at high temperatures, olive oil does. So, don't forget to change it every time that you fry something.
If you want to find more information about oleic acid and its role in lowering blood lipids, (or also in supporting memory!!!!but this still in experimental phase) then type it in a search engine. There is much research done in this subject.
Allow me also a last indication: why don't you use traditional rise? If you want to eat healthy, then try to eat traditional food. It is much better.

*EDIT*
oleic acid is one of olive oil's ingredients that makes the difference
with a balance of other products and a realization that even good stuff can be bad without practicing moderation - - yeah. it's good. just go easy on the oil, any oil. anything heavier than air has a potential of being both bad and good. my mother, years ago, had a chant that i thought slightly bizarre at the time but have reconsidered: happy medium. everything in balance and the world gets to spin another round, we get to see another day and all's ok.
When you heat most oils to high temperatures their molecular structure changes, causing free radicals. (Free radicals have been linked to heart disease and cancer)
Coconut oil doesn't. I'd recommend switching, it can be found in most good health food shops.
