Canola oil is one of the richest sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. The #1 cause of death in the U.S. is heart disease. To reduce the risk of heart disease, the American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and making dietary choices that lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. The American Heart Association recommends including canola oil as part of a heart healthy diet.

The amount of beneficial monounsaturated fats in canola averages around 60% - a far cry from the 85% in MacNut Oil. In addition, canola oil has 23% of the type of omega-6 fatty acids that can lead to inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and arthritis. See similar questions...

Canola Oil is NOT Rapeseed. Rapeseed is not a word that can be used in the place of canola, which is a specific trademarked product.
