Canola Oil

Did you know that “canola” is a coined word? It’s not listed in anything but the most recent reference sources! It’s a word that appeared out of nowhere. Canola comes from the “rape seed” which is part of the Mustard family of plants. This is the most toxic of all food oils. It is so toxic that insects will not eat rape; it is deadly poisonous. The oil from a rape seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy oil! Canola oil is a semi-drying oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap, and synthetic rubber base and as an illuminant for the slick color pages you see in magazines.

Canola is an industrial oil. It does not belong in the body! Did you know that Rape (canola) oil was in wide-spread use in animal feed in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991 when it was thrown out. Officially, canola oil is known as “Lear” oil. The acronym stands for low erucic acid rape. The chemical warfare agent, MUSTARD GAS is derived from rape (canola) oil.

The term “canola” gave the perfect cover for cartel interests who wanted to make billions. The name “canola” is an oil promoted to this day, but still as bad as it ever was for the human system!

Using scare tactics to make people paranoid about the Canola oil in their cupboards is an insult to their intelligence. I suggest you 1) start fact checking in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals, 2) end your sensationalist, unproven argumentative rants, and 3) stop making assumptions linking completely unrelated topics (i.e. a devastating nerve agent and a common household food staple that offers polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and a low saturated fatty acid content important to preventing heart disease).

Okay, slow down. Do you really know what Canola stands for? Canadian Oil, low acid. It didn't just pop up "out of nowhere" either. Canola oil comes from rapeseed that's been bred for lower concentrations of erucic acid (a 22:1 omega-9 fatty acid, you probably don't understand fatty acid shorthand, look it up) and glucosinolate. So do not go around claiming that Canola oil will poison you. It's simply not true. Furthermore, your logic that because Canola oil is used in other non-food applications it is somehow unsafe is ridiculous. Newsflash: using agricultural products for a single use would be WASTEFUL! That's why new uses are developed! Moreover, where did you get some of these "facts"? Your claims that the oil from rape seed is 100x more toxic than soy oil is totally unbased in science. Show me your sources, and they better be good. Also, a direct link between Canola oil and mustard gas is 100% misleading and offensive. (cont'd next post)
