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 oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are considered to be one of the least harmful forms of fat found in both vegetable and animal oils. The ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats found in Canola oil make it a healthier, lighter medium for frying foods.
