Canola Facts
•
Because it contains one of the highest ratios of unsaturated to saturated fats,
it is one of the most heart-healthy oils, reported to reduce cholesterol levels,
lower serum tryglyceride levels, and keep platelets from sticking together.
•
Because of the high omega-3 content, heating canola oil above 120 may
change some of the fatty acids into trans fats, which raise total cholesterol
and lower the levels of good cholesterol
