Canola oil looks good on paper, but there is something very unhealthful about it if my experience is any indication. (I have to eat well or my chronic illness gets worse almost right away.)

I avoid most seed oils, e.g., safflower, sunflower (regardless of how the seed oil is grown or refined) but canola is the single oil I take the most care to avoid. I use olive oil almost exclusively.

I don't have a decent theory about why it is particularly bad for me. Sorry I can't be more informative.
