Canola oil is made from the canola plant.
Canola plants produce pods containing seeds that are
crushed to release oil.
Compared to other oils on the market, canola oil is the lowest in
saturated fat and is high in monounsaturated fat.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, on
the other hand, help reduce blood cholesterol levels by lowering the
"bad" LDL levels and increasing the "good" HDL levels of cholesterol
in the blood.
Another benefit of canola oil is that it contains linolenic fatty
acid, which has been shown to lower blood triglyceride levels while
also having an anticlogging effect.
