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.
Oils rich in saturated fat have been vilified, and canola oil as well as other vegetable oils have been praised and became the standard recommendation for cooking due to their low saturated fat content. Another reason why canola oil is in high demand is its high amounts of monounsaturated oleic acid.
