warned me against canola oil... and now i have proof that she's right - i

Canola Oil (interesting read!)

Canola 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 an 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 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 pieceof

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 mo. 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.

(Whose hair is this referring to -- the employees or the calves?) After

removing the fried apple chips from the diet their hair grew back in.

My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. hit her mom's arm

with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, " Oh Mom " not hard enough to

hurt. My daughter's 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. Rape seed oil used for

stir-frying in China was found to emit cancer causing chemicals.

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. Be sure to also read this informative report written by leading

health expert Tom Valentine, Canola Oil Report.

I have heard that Canola oil is GE. Over here on one of the Potato chip

packets (they are the so-called healthy ones) they use " Sunola Oil " . I

thought this was Canola dressed up to look different, but reading the packet

it is Sunflower oil. I really don't buy biscuits much anymore for my kids.

I do all my own baking as much as poss. for this reason. You don't know

what is in half the stuff that you buy. I avoid Canola oil, and use Olive

and Coconut oil for frying. Olive oil for baking.

Thanks for the notes.
