Inflammation, Blood Pressure, and Oxidative Stress Animal studies associate canola oil with oxidative stress and increased inflammation. Animals fed a canola oil diet had a significantly decreased lifespan and sizeable increases in blood pressure. Compounds found during the heating of canola oil spiked inflammatory markers. [21] [22]Memory Decline and Increased Body WeightAnimal studies also suggest canola oil could negatively impact memory and increase body weight.

those who typically used canola oil for cooking were more likely to have metabolic syndrome compared to those who never or rarely used it.
