Canola Oil Consumed During Pregnancy Lowers Breast Cancer Risk for Offspring

gestation or is it lactation, because that's a pretty big difference," said Dr. Alan Astrow, director of the division of hematology and medical oncology at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. "Before you make a blanket recommendation that has an impact on the entire population, you have to be on very solid ground."

Still, some researchers believe that pregnant and lactating women have nothing to lose by switching to canola oil.

"Some populations that eat a lot of fish consume a lot of omega-3, and there doesn't seem to be any detrimental health impact," said Hardman. "It reduces inflammation, which is also beneficial, so there are a number of beneficial things, and we don't know of anything that's prohibitive."
