🌱 What does the research actually say about seed oils and inflammation?

The National recently took a closer look at one of the most common questions surrounding seed oils. According to nutritionist and science communicator Idrees Mughal, controlled trials in which people consumed more seed oils have not shown an increase in inflammatory markers. In fact, several controlled trials have shown anti-inflammatory effects.

It's another reminder that nutrition advice should be based on human research, not fear or misinformation online.

Canola oil is a source of unsaturated fats and is part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Canola is one of several renewable feedstocks that can be used to make biodiesel, a renewable diesel replacement used in existing diesel engines.

Biodiesel can help fuel:
🚜 Agricultural equipment
🚛 Ground transportation
🚆 Rail transportation
🚢 Marine transportation

It's one more way a crop grown on U.S. farms can contribute to America's energy supply. Learn more from Clean Fuels Alliance America: https://bit.ly/4aOU7k6

❤️ When it comes to cooking oils, the type of fat matters.

In a recent Sky Lakes Medical Center article written by Karen Cristello, MBA, Nutrition Coordinator Jennifer Newton, RD, MPH, explains what decades of nutrition research tell us about plant-based oils.

Omega-6 is an essential fat, meaning our bodies need it but can't make it on their own. It can help reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Research has also found positive outcomes when people choose seed oils instead other fats higher in saturated fat.

Canola oil provides heart-healthy unsaturated fats, making it a choice you can feel good about. 🌱

🥣 It's soup season!

This Butternut Squash Soup combines sweet squash and apple juice with onion, garlic and a touch of smoky chipotle for a comforting combination of fall flavors.

🌼 Why canola works: Canola oil is ideal for sautéing thanks to its high heat tolerance, while its light, neutral taste allows the subtle flavors in the soup to stand out.

Top with fresh cilantro and grab a spoon! 🍂

Why Bakers Use Canola Oil

🧁 Why does canola oil work so well in baking?

Canola oil has a neutral flavor that lets ingredients like chocolate, vanilla, fruit and spices take center stage.

It also blends easily into recipes and helps give cakes, muffins, brownies and quick breads a soft, moist texture.

Another benefit? Using canola oil in place of solid fats such as butter or shortening can reduce the amount of saturated fat in a recipe.
That's a lot to love in one baking ingredient. 💛

A recent article from The National takes a closer look at what decades of research tell us about seed oils and health.

Seed oils such as canola are rich in unsaturated fats. Research has consistently found that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Dr. Elizabeth Mary Thomas, a specialist in internal medicine, told The National that current scientific evidence does not support the idea that seed oils are inherently harmful as part of a balanced diet.

The takeaway? You can feel good about choosing canola oil as a source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats. 💛

🌼 From a field of yellow flowers to renewable fuel, canola goes farther than you might think.

Canola oil is one of the renewable feedstocks that can be used to produce biodiesel and renewable diesel. That connects U.S. canola growers to a growing domestic biofuels industry, creating another market for canola while helping meet America's transportation energy needs.

🌱 Grown on the farm
🌼 Harvested for its seed
💧 Processed for its oil
⛽ Used as a renewable biofuel feedstock

That's canola from field to fuel. Learn more from Clean Fuels Alliance America: https://bit.ly/4aOU7k6

USCA's Immediate Past President Tim Mickelson of Rolla, North Dakota, joined fellow ND agricultural producers and industry leaders at North Dakota State University this morning for a roundtable discussion with Senator John Hoeven and Senator John Boozman, chairman of the Senate Ag Committee Republicans.

The discussion focused on Farm Bill 2.0, the farm safety net, market opportunities and other priorities affecting farmers and the future of U.S. agriculture.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of these important conversations and help ensure canola producers have a voice as agricultural policy moves forward.

According to Jennifer Newton, RD, MPH, Nutrition Coordinator at Sky Lakes Medical Center the theory that omega-6 fats in seed oils cause inflammation doesn't match what actually happens in the body.

While omega-6 fatty acids can be used to make compounds involved in inflammation, our bodies tightly regulate that process. And research tells an even more reassuring story.

A 2025 study of nearly 1,900 people found that higher levels of linoleic acid, the primary omega-6 fat in seed oils, were associated with LOWER inflammation and better heart and metabolic health. 💛

The evidence is clear: There's no need to fear seed oils as part of a healthy diet.

🍂 This yummy colorful salad has fall written all over it!

Roasted butternut squash is tossed with mixed greens, pumpkin seeds and red onion, then finished with a balsamic-chipotle vinaigrette.

🌼 Why canola works: Its neutral flavor lets the squash, warming spices and smoky chile shine. It's used both to roast the squash and as the base for the homemade vinaigrette.
