Canola oil (originally rapeseed oil) contains roughly 9% omega-3 and 22% omega-6. Using canola oil vegetable oil may skew the ratio of omega-6:omega-3 significantly less than the following commonly-used cooking oils: sunflower, safflower, sesame, corn, cottonseed, soy, peanut, and wheatgerm. Olive vegetable oil oil is high in oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, vegetable oil contains approx 10% omega-6 and less than 1% omega-3. Replacing traditional omega-6 oils with olive oil might improve the omega-6:omega-3 ratio in the overall diet by reducing the total amount of omega-6 consumed. There also exist high-oleic versions of sunflower and safflower oils which are traditionally also lower in omega-6 and more closely resemble the fatty acid profile of olive oil. Coconut oil and palm oil contain high levels of stearic acid a saturated fatty acid, and have very little omega-6 or omega-3.
