How to Replace Butter With Canola Oil
Trans fats are bad for our health, increasing the risk of developing heart disease. Replacing butter with canola oil is a smarter choice when it comes to your health. Canola oil can replace butter in many baking recipes and sauteed dishes, and can reduce a meal's fat content by up to 25 percent. Substituting canola oil for butter is also an excellent option for those on a low-saturated fat diet who wish to adapt their favorite recipes.
