Is Canola Oil Good For Health?

Hi, what is the real truth about canola oil, considering that most of the 'urban' legends are in fact true about the product. My concern, just less than 10 years ago eggs were bad and margerine was good!

How wrong we were on that, so - is canola oil safe or is it questionable?
