Canola Oil Myths
Posted by Jeff Snelling on 1/17/2012 to Garlic Nutrition
Canola Plant and Canola OilI recently heard from a customer of Garlic Garden that was concerned about an article they found on the Internet talking about how bad Canola Oil is for your health.  After reading the article, it was clear that the articles I read were spouting misinformation and conjecture, not based on credible sources (an in most cases not mentioning ANY sources).
Obviously we can't say we're a credible source of Canola Oil information, as we use it as part of our ingredients in the whipped garlic.  However, we can point you to credible sources that outline the health benefits.
First, the FDA has conducted official investigations into the health claims of Canola Oil and has produced a letter confirming that the health claims about the oil are valid and represent good science and sources.  Here's that article: http://www.fda.gov/Food/LabelingNutrition/LabelClaims/QualifiedHealthClaims/ucm072958.htm

Here are some other resource articles from credible sources about Canola Oil:
