I've learned to stay away from canola oil - first, I don't find it very neutral and often can tell when a place uses canola oil. Second, there seems to be a correlation between a restaurant using canola oil and me have gastro issues - not always, so I'm wondering if it is only some brands that restaurants uses that is cheaper, or maybe they reuse it too much. I had read about someone else having issues and they whenever they did, they would call the restaurant and find out what oil they used, so I started to do the same. While not all restaurants that use canola oil cause problems, whenever I have had an issue, the restaurant always were using canola oil. Very anecdotal, obviously.

I stick to peanut, soybean, or mostly extra light olive oil (or EVO for non-cooking needs).
