What effect does Canola Oil have on your health? There are many ideas online but what does science show about canola oil & health? Canola oil, sometimes called rapeseed oil, is mainly monounsaturated. Is it healthy or toxic? What does the science say about canola oil?

We look at cholesterol, glucose, insulin, inflammation, oxidation, body weight, cancer & risk of mortality. Canola & lipids. Canola compared to olive oil, sunflower seed oil and foods higher in saturated fat like butter.

LDL-Cholesterol was a bit lower on canola than olive oil but ApoB didn´t significantly differ.

canola vs sunflower oil: LDL-Cholesterol lower on canola, but not ApoB

canola vs saturated fat: LDL-Cholesterol, ApoB and triglycerides all lower on canola

VLDL-cholesterol, ApoA1, lp(a), HDLc not significant

Bottomline: canola oil better for lipids than saturated fat, no clear superiority compared to other vegetable oils

refined canola also retains lipid-lowering effect
