Thoughts on Canola Oil?

[thex95]

i am adding Canola oil to a few meals a day to get enough unsaturated fats for the day, what are peoples thoughts on this as a source of unsaturated fat?

I think you guys call canola what we call rapeseed. If so, I use it as it has a better omega 3/6 ratio than olive oil. Although I vary my fats between rapeseed, fish oils and pumpkin and sunflower seeds!

Canola oil is pretty good. Just don't cook with it.

The composition of oils/fats changes drastically when heated.

Maybe try some coconut oil. Healthier to cook with, and tastes awesome.

What happens when you cook with it?

I know repetitively cooking with the same oil does something to the cis-bonds changing the fat to a trans fatty acid. Anyone care to elaborate?

What I do know about canola oil is that its genetically made crap to feed the masses.
Sadly I still use it in the form of Pam. I need to cook my eggs and fast, I been trying to use other things like olive oil also. But, canola is still easier.

Try grapeseed oil, make sure it is ''unrefined.''

It has a much thinner texture than EVOO, and a higher smoke point, hence you can work better with it, not to mention grapeseed oil is a miracle of nature, as it is loaded with antioxidants as opposed to the Canadian BS of carcinogenic mass canola oil.

is there something wrong with a tsp of low fat/cal margarine??

You are better off without it.

Margarine is a mutagen, not real food at all.

I would love to, but where can I get shit that is convenient?

It's easy as hell spraying shit from a airsol can.

But, I might make the switch back to all olive oil. I use to put in a spray bottle and just use it pretty much like Pam.
