Canola Oil Is Good For You

It’s a fact; everyone needs some form of fat in their diet. Research shows that canola oil is by far the best choice to use, in cooking and baking. It has a higher heat tolerance, a neutral taste and a smooth texture.

Canola oil was first manufactured in Canada, in the 70′s. The name is actually a shortened version of ‘Canadian oil, low acid’. It is made by crushing the seeds of canola plants, which are grown in several areas of the world, including the United States and Canada.

It can be used as a recipe ingredient and when frying, sautéing and baking. It can be used in place of solid oils, such as lard and produces finished products that contain less saturated and trans fats.

In fact, canola oil has the least amount of saturated fat than ANY other kind of edible oil. It contains only 7% saturated fats, while other common cooking oils have as much as 51% saturated fats. As you can see, that’s a HUGE and dangerous difference.

It is a wonderful source of vitamin E, vitamin K and plant sterols… all said to help you maintain a healthy heart. In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized an official claim, which is now included on every label, stating that daily intake 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil may help to reduce the risk of heart disease.

(Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, of adults living in the U.S. Approximately 1.4 MILLION deaths, each year, can be attributed to this very cause. That is a very scary number that needs to be reduced.)

Not too long ago there was a rumor circulation the Internet that canola oil poses a health hazard, due to the fact that it contains toxic ingredients. This is simply not the case. According to several reliable sources, including Snopes.com, this is just another urban legend… like people who paint their cat or the idea that drinking cold water will lead to cancer.

    Weight Loss You…

    Not all women lose their baby weight when they breastfeed – I fed both my children and still had to diet like mad to get back in shape. I think if its part of your make up, then you will lose weight, if its not – then tough you have to work at it!
