Clear Up Confusion About Canola Oil

In response to questions from her readers, popular nutrition columnist Robin Miller dispels confusion about canola oil. Top authorities in the medical and health fields consider canola oil a healthy cooking oil, she explains. “It's made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant; it has less saturated fat than any other oil commonly used in the U.S.; and it's higher in the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than any other oil except flaxseed oil,” Miller writes in The Arizona Republic.
