Canola Oil

[Guest guest]

Forgive the cross posts, please. But, I received this on a Lavender Lane

email. Has anyone heard anything about it? If so, any truth?

" Canola Oil is a Health Hazard

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, canola oil, do not use for cooking oil or salad oil, it is not fit

for human consumption. It is not a healthy oil at all.

following for yourself.

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 When canola oil was withdrawn from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 in

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.*

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 mo. as a quality control taster, at an

apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying,

developed numerous health problems including loose teeth; gum disease,gum

and nail beds turned gray; numb hands and feet with cramps, 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 yrs. 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.

Be sure to check products for ingredients. If it says, " This product may

contain one or more of the following " .... and lists Canola oil you can

expect it to contain canola oil because it is the cheapest oil and the

government subsidizes Canola oil to some industries involved in food

processing, bakeries and schools.

My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephany 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.

Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China found to emit cancer causing

chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj. The Wall
