What are the other nutritional benefits of canola?
Canola is recognized for its nutritional attributes as it contains the lowest level of saturated fatty acids of any vegetable oil. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels, and has moderate amounts of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. Like all vegetable oils, canola oil is cholesterol-free. Nutritional research is confirming that the fatty profile of canola oil appears to be beneficial in preventing and treating coronary heart disease risk factors including high blood cholesterol and lipid levels as well as thrombosis.
