Pages: 1 Heather - Canola oil...       #34485 - 12/30/03 04:51 PM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK Heather, I see you use canola oil quite a lot in your recipes. This doesn't seem to be a commonly used oil in the UK; I was wondering if there is another type of oil I could use as an alternative - what about a 'light' olive oil (ie without the strong flavour of extra-virgin), or would this not give the same results??

You can use safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, or the light olive oil. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

Shouldn't we be a bit weary of this? -------------------- It comes down to the art of living on [color/red] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Heather - Canola oil...       #34517 - 12/30/03 09:27 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - All oils are fats, and fats are oils. Same thing. For IBS, you need a low fat diet, but this does NOT mean fat free. It does mean that the fats you eat - about 20-25% of your total calorie intake every day - need to be heart healthy. Canola oil is a good choice, as is olive oil, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, and flax oil. You can tolerate healthy fats if you eat them in smaller quantities with a high soluble fiber base. In other words, baking banana bread or making a fried rice with a bit of canola oil is just fine - deep frying something in it is not. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
