Nutritional information:
- saturated fat: 7%
- mono-unsaturated fat: 61%
- erucic acid [C22:1w9]: 2%
- linoleic acid (omega-6): 21%
- alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3): 11%
Notes:
- may have small benefit for glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 [1]
- in a triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease canola oil increased in body weight, impaired working memory, decreased post-synaptic density protein-95 (marker of synaptic integrity), & increased the ratio of insoluble Abeta42/Abeta40 [2]
