Canola Oil - The Benefits of Using it.

I found this wonderful information on Canola oil at: Canolainfo.org  This is one change that is very easy to make in all our diets.
Omega-3 Content
Canola oil is a leading source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an
omega-3 fatty acid, providing 1.3 grams of ALA per serving.
ALA is the essential omega-3 fatty acid needed in our diets
because our bodies cannot make it. Canola oil qualifies for
a claim that it is high in ALA, and the label can show that
canola oil contains 100% of the Daily Value for ALA per
serving.
Vitamin E Claim
Canola oil is a good source of vitamin E. One serving has a
% Daily Value of 25%, meaning that a consumer who ate
a 2,000 calorie diet would be getting about one-fourth of
his or her vitamin E intake for the day from one serving of
canola oil.
