What is Canola Oil? Cooking Oil?

Recently I bought a cooking oil that's new to our supermarkets,
Canola Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was
lowest in 'bad' fats. However, when I had used half the bottle,
I concluded that the label told me surprisingly little else and
I started to wonder: where does canola oil come from?
Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower
oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on
the label to enlighten me, which I thought odd. So, I did some
investigating on the Internet. There are plenty of official
Canola sites lauding this new 'wonder' oil with all its low-fat
health benefits. It takes a little longer to find sites that
tell the less
palatable details.
Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying
anything containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural
plant but a made-up word, from the words 'Canada' and 'oil'.
Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada
from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of
plants.
According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and
Technology Magazine for Farmers, 'By nature, these rapeseed
oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial
purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals'. (This, by
the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new
canola Industry.)
Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent
insect repellent. I have been using it (in very diluted form,
as per instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last
two years. It works very well; it suffocates them. Ask for it
at your nursery. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant,
fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for
color pages in magazines.
It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems,
causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation,
irritability, and blindness in animals and humans. Rape oil was
widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986
and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the 'Mad Cow
disease' scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were
slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed
on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep
suffer from a disease called 'scrapie'.
It was thought this was how 'Mad Cow' began and started to
infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that when
rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared.
We also haven't seen any further reports of 'Mad Cow' since rape
oil was removed from the feed. Perhaps not scientifically
proven, but Interesting all the same. US and Canadian farmers
grow genetically engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its
oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings
of Canadian and US government watchdog agencies. The canola
supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit
it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through
genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but 'canola'
instead.
Except canola means 'Canadian oil'; and the plant is still a
rape plant, albeit genetically modified. The new name provides
perfect cover for commercial interests wanting to make millions.
Look at the ingredients list on labels. Apparently peanut oil
is being replaced with rape oil. You'll find it in an alarming
number of processed foods. There's more, but to conclude: rape
oil was the
source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was
banned after blistering the lungs and skins of hundred of
thousands of soldiers and civilians during W.W.I. Recent French
reports indicate that it was again in use during the Gulf War.
Check products for ingredients. If the label says, 'may contain
the following' and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola
oil because it is the cheapest oil and the Canadian government
subsidizes it to industries involved in food processing. I don't
know what you'll be cooking with tonight,
but I'll be using olive oil and old-fashioned butter, from a
genetically unmodified cow.
Here is more information...
Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil
because Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in
the USA. The Canadian government and Industry paid our Federal
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have
canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List 'Generally Recognized As
Safe'. Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted
affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets.
Studies with lab animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty
degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When
canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits
dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No
studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote
Canola oil in the USA.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease
caused by a build up of long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28)
which destroys the myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves.
Canola oil is a very long chain fatty acid oil (c22). Those who
will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have
used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in an
unrefined form.* (* taken from
FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus.)
My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I
tested 260. I switched back to pure olive oil and it has taken 5
years to get it down to 160. Thus began this project to find
answers since most Doctors will say that Canola. Oil is O.K.
My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5
pre-treatings and harsh washings, the oil spot still showed. She
stopped using Canola oil, wondering what it did to our insides
if it could not be removed from cloth easily. Our Father bred
birds, always checking labels to insure there was no rape seed
In their food. He said, 'The birds will eat it, but they do not
live very long.' A friend, who worked for only 9 months. as a
quality control taster at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil
was used exclusively for frying, developed numerous health
problems. These included loose teeth & gum disease; numb hands
and feet; swollen arms and legs upon rising in the morning;
extreme joint
pain especially in hands, cloudy vision, constipation with
stools like black marbles, hearing loss; skin tears from being
bumped; lack of energy; hair loss and heart pains.
It has been five years since she has worked there and still has
some joint pain, gum disease, and numbness. A fellow worker,
about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a routine
check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an
80 year old man. Two employees fed the waste product to baby
calves and their hair fell out. After removing the fried apple
chips from the diet their hair grew back in.
My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her
mom's arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, 'Oh
mom', not hard enough to hurt. My daughters arm split open like
it was rotten. She called me to ask what could have caused it.
I said, 'I'll bet anything that you are using Canola oil'. Sure
enough, there was a big gallon jug in the pantry.
Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light
industry, not for human consumption. It contains a toxic
substance. (from encyclopedia). Even after the processing to
reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a penetrating oil.
We have found that it turns rancid very fast. Also it leaves a
residual rancid odor on clothing.

causing chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal

Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad
oil. It is not the healthy oil we thought it was. It is not fit
for human consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you.
Polyunsaturated or not, this is a bad oil.
