[quote="floramaria"][quote="johnseed"] Thanks Floramaria, here's the reply from Edwards: " Thanks for your message. There are other health benefits in addition to what’s on our bottle, e.g. plant sterols (linked to cholesterol lowering), or a more balanced ratio of omega 3 to omega 6.
To answer your questions:
Your US colleague is correct, in general refined oils have a higher smoke point that cold pressed oils. However, cold pressed canola oil is an exception to other cold pressed oils and does have a higher smoke point between 205 and 240oC and Flashpoint of 328oC. This might be slightly less than the refined RBD canola oil (~240oC) but still high enough for all cooking applications. "
