When creating PistachiOats, my mother thought to use only those ingredients she knew to be nutritious and healthy, since it was originally to be consumed by her and her family and friends.
And so when people say that we shouldn't use canola oil in our product because it's unhealthy, we take this to heart. It seems that there is no general consensus on the effects of canola oil. Some people insist it to be unhealthy, while others insist it to be the healthiest of all oils.
Well, we believe canola oil to be an excellent oil as it is:
- very low in saturated fats
- a source of omega-3 fatty acids
- cholesterol and trans-fat free.
But, it's up to you to decide for yourself. A comprehensive source of information on canola oil is available on the U.S. Canola Association's website, which can be found at http://www.uscanola.com/. Although their information may carry the bias in favor of canola oil as it is their mission to "increase U.S. canola production", the information has been substantiated by the FDA.
We welcome and appreciate any input you may have on canola.
