The rct evidence suggests that canola doesn’t lower apo b (relative to sunflower oil) and rct evidence shows EVOO does lower apo b (relative to sunflower oil)
But there aren’t any decent head to head rcts looking at Canola vs EVOO.
There’s also evidence showing EVOOs positive impact re oxidation of ldl-c, blood pressure, blood glucose and inflammation.
Given the weight of evidence I’m really surprised anyone would favour canola oil over EVOO. Canola seems to reduce the volume of ldl-c, but not the number of particles, suggesting it shrinks particle size rendering the ldl-c more susceptible to oxidation. The cost of EVOO isn’t a huge issue in the UK (£8 a litre, so £1 for 1,100kj). Is it more expensive in the US?
