Canola oil is made from a safe version of rape seed. The old rape seed contains erucic acid -- an oil that has negative health effects. This new oil was named canola oil to distinguish it from the old rape seed oil.
Canola oil is low in saturated fat but is high in monounsaturated fat -- a good thing! Monounsaturated fats benefit heart health.
