Canola oil is known to be the best oil for heart health. Known to have a light texture and a neutral taste, canola oil’s mild flavor does not overwhelm the taste of other ingredients, thus making it a great choice for both sauteing and baking.

Therefore, not only does canola oil contain no cholesterol, it can actually reduce your cholesterol levels by 10-15%.
