Olive oil, unlike Canola, has been proven to help in reducing levels of amyloid plaques in the brain. These plaques have actually been revealed to be at increased levels in Alzheimer’s patients.
Since this is so, scientists wished to know if canola oil would have the same healthy effect on our brains.
A study was conducted at LKSOM (Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University) using 2 groups of mice. One group was fed a typical diet, while the other group’s diet was supplemented with around 2 Tablespoons of canola oil each day. The outcomes cast doubt on how healthy Canola Oil might really be.
