Study shows canola oil cannot replace olive oil in a Mediterranean-style diet

Canola oil is often suggested as an alternative to olive oil for those wanting to follow a Mediterranean-style diet. However, canola oil (also known as rapeseed oil) is quite different from olive oil and might not have the same effect. Researchers sought out to examine whether canola oil is suitable as an alternative for following a Mediterranean-style diet for individuals who live in countries where olive oil is not produced locally.
