Canola oil is generally considered a âhealthyâ oil because it is very low in saturated fat (7%). Like olive oil it is high in monounsaturated fat (63%). In addition, canola oil contains significant amounts of phytosterols (about 0.9% by weight) that reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the body.
Canola is one of the healthy oils, with a high proportion of monounsaturated fat. It also has some omega-3 - that might be the source of its fishy taste. While it's perfectly safe to consume, it's off-odor and flavor don't work in dishes where the oil flavor is noticeable. Corn oil tastes great - unfortunately, because it isn't one of the healthier oils. There are oil blends that are neutral and healthier than corn oil. I use one that is a combination of soy and canola oil. â
