Canola oil is an artery clogger. I gave it up a year ago and my circulation began to improve within two months. Stick with coconut oil, olive oil and good old butter.

They now make light butter, about half the calories from fat.

A lot of our health issues are due to cholesterol diets. A simple switch to a type 2 diabetic diet will drop both Tris and LDL. US PAN SPRAYS more, I fry with it and a little light butter or olive oil. Most foods I bake, broil, crock pot, or grill.

When you stick me on a cholesterol diet, you eliminate the iodine the Master gland of your body the Thyroid needs to function right. Causes more muscle and joint pain. I notice it big time when the ENDO lowers my dose or the time I was off it for 2 weeks for a ENT test.

I do not allow my dogs to eat food with canola.

Absolutely correct. If you must use oil, make it either olive or coconut.

NOTHIN' like butter, and since I switched to olive oil about six months ago, I cam't even use the left over veggie oil to pop corn !

Used veggie for centuries, switched to canola after reading a couple of good things then switched to olive

I'll never switch again

Agreed. Trans fats are nasty too. I cook exclusively with olive oil and peanut oil when I need to take the temps higher. Coconut oil is a great substitute for shortening in baking.

Guess I need an education. I thought canola was the preferred oil. We use mostly EVOO but canola when higher temp or taste is involved.

I do remember the french fries cooked in lard, sigh
