Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for letting me know about Canola Oil! Here I thought (once again) I was giving something healthy to my family! Geez, the food and pharmaceutical industries are pretty crooked and evil in my book! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rape > oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, > constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals and humans.
