Olive oil (extra-virgin), unlike Canola, has been shown to help in lowering levels of amyloid plaques in the brain. These plaques have been revealed to be at increased levels in Alzheimer's patients. Because of this, scientists would like to know if canola oil would have the very same healthy result on our brains.
A research study was performed at LKSOM (Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University) utilizing 2 groups of mice. One group was fed a regular diet, while the other group's diet was supplemented with approximately 2 Tablespoons of canola oil each day. The results cast doubt on how healthy Canola Oil may in fact be.
