Canola oil & dementia

Scientific Reports: Effect of canola oil consumption on memory, synapse and neuropathology in the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

The data presented in the current paper demonstrate that chronic administration of a diet enriched with canola oil results in significant deficits of working memory and synaptic pathology, but has no effect on the Aβ deposits and tau phosphorylation levels in a transgenic Alzheimer’s mouse model that develops Aβ deposits and tau neurofibrillary tangles.

So the canola oil mice got stupid and fat.

The authors suggest that maybe we should study canola oil further before we recommend it as a substitute for olive oil...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
