Canola oil (3rd ingredient) is one of the worst "foods" you can put in your body. Most seed oils (usually called "vegetable oils") are bad for you, and they're everywhere.
What would you recommend as an alternative?

Have you ever heard of camelina oil? What do you think of it? It has the highest diverse Omega content, I hear, and has a higher burn temp than any other oil. I wonder why it wasn't mentioned if it wasn't by him in the book.
I've not heard of camelina oil.
I don't cook much and didn't really have any interest in food oils until three or four years ago when my cardiologist wanted to do some unpleasant sounding invasive procedures. Instead, I got serious about my diet and supplements, which lead me to cut out most vegetable oils from my diet, among other things. That's when I found that canola and other less-than-healthy oils are damn near everywhere in processed foods. Canola oil is cheap, so it's one of the most common. In my favorite local health food store, several of the organic mayo brands have canola oil as the number 1 or number 2 ingredient.
My cardio problems went away -- big change, actually -- and cutting the vegetable oils was, I believe, the biggest factor in that.
what about olive oil? always been told its good for you no?
Yes, organic, extra virgin olive oil is generally considered good for you (although some say it's "neutral", others think it's exceptionally health-promoting . . . there's no 100% consensus on this or on most things) but don't cook with it; see the list in my earlier comment for what Mark Hyman, MD has to say about various oils.
Lard. And I mean that seriously.
My good friend always saves her bacon grease to cook with. Best damn meals, naturally flavored to boot!
That's quite the claim with absolutely no reasoning at all behind it.

You'll find different opinions on canola oil when do to a search, and right now my internet is slow enough that I'm not going to do more searching -- I'd generally prefer to post some actual studies -- but you won't find any shortage of reasons to stay away from this oil if you look.
Thanks, I appreciate it, sorry to be harsh but I just like the basis to at least be somewhat summarized so I know whether it worth looking into or not.
No worries, fren.
Most vegetable oils are highly processed from GMO, Roundup saturated crops - either corn or seeds. They are high in Omega 6 fatty acids that are funneled into the inflammation pathways. They are not heart healthy as the establishment, driven by Big Agriculture, tries to tell everyone. It is a lie. There is a difference between healthy fats and unhealthy ones - and they are not the fats the propagandists have been telling the public that they are. The average American diet is heavily tilted towards Omega 6 fatty acids that promote disease instead of healthier Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 9, like in olive oil, is neutral. All fats are not created equal and @Narg is correct in what they post.
