Health benefits of olive oil vs. canola oil? (cross-posted in Cooking & Baking group)
(Please let me know if there's a different "personal interest" group other than Cooking & Baking that this question would be better directed towards)
Is canola oil as "heart healthy" as olive oil? The nutritional information on my canola oil bottle is very similar to that on my extra-virgin olive oil:
Extra-virgin olive oil (Stop & Shop brand):
(Per serving size of 15 mL)
Total fat: 14g Saturated fat: 2g trans fat: 0g Polyunsaturated fat: 2g monounsaturated fat: 10g
100% canola oil (Stop & Shop brand):
(per serving size of 14g)
Total fat: 14g Saturated fat: 1g trans fat: 0g polyunsat fat: 4g monounsat fat: 9g
