The effects of canola and olive oils consumption compared to sunflower oil, on lipid profile and hepatic steatosis in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.
Overall, the discussions reflect a generally supportive view of the study's findings, with posts emphasizing the benefits of canola oil and referencing specific results like reductions in triglycerides and fatty liver, using a tone of curiosity and cautious interest. Some comments challenge or question common perceptions of seed oils, adding depth to the conversation.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the positive effects of canola oil on lipid profiles and fatty liver in women with PCOS, aligning with the study's findings.
InterestModerate interest
Posts show moderate curiosity, with some discussing specific results and others sharing opinions, indicating a genuine but cautious interest.
EngagementModerate engagement
Several commentaries reference study details, such as lipid ratios and insulin resistance, suggesting a deeper discussion about the research.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions highlight potential implications for dietary choices and health, implying moderate perceived influence on health practices.
Abstract in brief
This study compared the effects of canola, olive, and sunflower oils on women with PCOS over 10 weeks, focusing on lipid profiles and liver health, finding that canola oil improved lipid levels and liver condition more than olive or sunflower oils.
Canola oil significantly reduced triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and the ratios associated with cardiovascular risk, and also decreased fatty liver severity and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
In contrast, olive oil did not show a significant impact on lipid profile but still helped reduce fatty liver grade, indicating that different healthy oils may have varying benefits for managing PCOS-related health issues.]
Olive vs Canola oil, which is healthiest?
According to social media canola is supposed to be toxic poison!! But does actually pan out?
A randomized trial compared the 2 oils head to head. The results will surprise (most of) you!

@natetay2 @DrNeilStone And this is why Neil Stone was clearly more interested in listening to actual experts in nutrition, rather than laypersons.

@reallyoptimized @nuclearmed23 @NutritionMadeS3 Sure: At the end of the study, 72 patients with a mean age of 29.31 were analysed. Canola oil consumption resulted in a significant reduction in serum levels of TG (P = 0.002) and TC/HDL (P = 0.021), LDL/HDL (P = 0.047), and TG/HDL (P = 0.001) ratios https://t.co/4bSeovs5CQ

There -were- changes, but the change in HOMA-IR were less than the difference in starting HOMA-IR between groups.
The olive oil group appears to have been sicker to start.
None of final results were healthy.

@AlpacaAurelius Those are mice susceptible to Alzheimer and the study does not say how much oil they were fed. This study on women with "polycystic ovarian syndrome" found positive effects for canola oil vs oilve oil. https://t.co/THVen4mcOn https://t.co/wKE1cGOtAs

@BenBikmanPhD In this study Canola oil compared directly with olive oil was very effective in reducing fatty liver and CVD markers https://t.co/S5q17tE7FS
