VOO scores 100, Canola scores 68, but the study is flawed.
Section 2.3 shows a suspicious scoring system, in which a threshold is used to set a score to maximum positive or maximum negative. It does not identify the score values for oleic acid, which has a threshold very close to the values for canola (just below) and VOO (just above). Figure 1, the only figure showing the calculation of scores, does not show the calculation for canola oil.
* Canola TFA should be 0.4 (it was reduced between 2008 and 2013): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola_oil#Nutrition_and_health https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/public-health-nutrition/article/transfatty-acids-in-cooking-oils-in-bogota-colombia-changes-in-the-food-supply-from-2008-to-2013/149F8B8E6F17BF307D44A2AEC773C553
* Canola and VOO have nearly the same 18:1 oleic acid, with VOO barely over and canola barely under, that should not result in a 6 point swing.

<blockquote>
Nutritionally, olive oil — especially extra virgin — is healthier than canola.
People who regularly use olive oil have reduced heart disease risk factors, improved blood sugar levels, and a lower risk of death (17, 18, 19).
For example, an analysis of 33 studies revealed that people with the highest olive oil intake had a 16% lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those with the lowest intake (18).
Additionally, greater olive oil consumption is linked to a lower risk of stroke and a reduction in heart disease risk factors, including LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels (17).
Olive oil’s benefits can be attributed to its antioxidants and other plant compounds, which are especially abundant in extra virgin varieties (9).
On the other hand, canola oil is highly refined, which drastically reduces its content of nutrients like essential fatty acids and antioxidants (1, 2).
While canola is often promoted as a heart-healthy fat, current research is conflicting. Though some studies suggest that it’s beneficial, others indicate the opposite (1, 20).
One study in 2,071 overweight or obese adults noted that those who often used canola oil had a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those who rarely or never used it (20).
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions characterized by excess belly fat and high triglyceride, cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar levels, which collectively raise your risk of heart disease (21).
Keep in mind that many studies linking canola oil to heart-health benefits have been funded by the canola industry, potentially raising conflicts of interest. Overall, more research is needed on canola and heart health (1, 22, 23, 24, 25).
In addition, rodent studies associate this oil with increased inflammation, a negative impact on memory, and lower blood levels of antioxidants (26, 27).
Meanwhile, multiple studies show that extra virgin olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties and heart-health benefits (28, 29, 30).
As far as your health is concerned, more evidence supports the benefits of olive oil over canola.

TL;DR:

  • EVOO health benefit is sufficiently probable to make it worth using.
  • Regular olive oil is harder to get excited about (lacking the antioxidants in EVOO).
  • The canola oil industry group published a sketchy "study".
  • Some of the "problems" with canola oil are flawed; either from older data or from industrial rapeseed oil.

The Question

Which oil is healthiest? Is canola oil bad? Is olive oil good? What other options are good?
