There are also potentially toxic chemical contaminants formed when refined oils are deodorized, such as 3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol).2523
Regular olive oil has up to twenty-five times the 3-MCPD levels as extra-virgin olive oil.2524 In fact, that’s how you can discriminate among the various processing grades of olive oil. If a bottle of oil is labeled as “extra-virgin olive oil” but it contains a lot of 3-MCPD, then it must have been diluted with some refined olive oil

One famous Mediterranean diet trial that has stood the test of time is the Lyon Diet Heart Study.2536 About six hundred individuals who had each already had a heart attack were randomized into two groups. The control group received no dietary advice, apart from whatever their doctors had told them, while the experimental group was instructed to eat more of a Mediterranean-type diet, supplemented with a canola oil–based spread that would give them the plant-based omega-3s they would have normally gotten from foods like walnuts if they had actually lived on a Greek isle in the 1950s.2537 Canola oil also lowers LDL cholesterol better than olive oil does,2538 and, unlike olive oil, canola has been shown not to acutely impair artery function.2539

Hi, do you have a full text link to the Lyon study please. I can’t see how it supports canola oil over EVOO.
The study intervention was to: “more bread, more root vegetables and green vegetables, more fish, fruit at least once daily, less red meat (replaced with poultry),” in addition to olive oil and canola margarine.

It seems like the intervention group had a higher fibre, lower PUFA consumption.

Don’t sleep on this:

Up to 20% of calories.

However, it does not appear as though these oils are uniquely causal of the chronic diseases we face in the modern, industrialized world. In fact, vegetable oils likely have a beneficial role to play in the prevention of many diseases— particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and potentially skin cancer. Vegetable oils could plausibly have a beneficial role to play in preventing degeneration of the macula, fatty liver disease, and perhaps some auto-immune diseases.

Guy at the end of the video above freaks out too “God it sounds like a superfood”.

Canola oil dumbing people …

Do folks here have any opinion about high oleic sunflower and high oleic sunflower oil as an alternative or complement to the EVOO and avocado oil staples?
