Is the Canola oil the best oil for cooking?

A typical fatty acid composition of canola oil is :
>Saturated: 7%.
>Monounsaturated: 63%.
>Polyunsaturated: 28% (with Omega-6 and Omega-3 in a 2:1 ratio
Overall, canola oil is not as bad as other vegetable oils (like soybean oil), but it is still far from being healthy. You would do much better eating olive oil or coconut oil instead.
If you can get your hands on organic, cold-pressed canola oil, then it won’t be as high in oxidized fats and trans fats, so I suppose it is fine to consume.
But I definitely wouldn’t make it a large percentage of calories and I would definitely NOT cook with it, as it is still too high in polyunsaturated fats.
I agree with Dr Saab
