Canola Oil KILLS!

Using Canola Oil contradicts all the time that we have invested, the expense we incur to purchase organically grown food and a few extra years of wisdom we will enjoy as we age. But, I’m not going to rant and rave… here is a link with relevant information for you to take into consideration. Here’s to healthy living.

Huh. I am always glad to learn the truth about the foods we eat, but I must admit, this article seems rather sensationalized to me.
???
It kind of looks like one of those internet urban legends that get passed around. Just my first impression.
Either way, I'd be curious to know more about this and look at the research on canola oil--if it exists--in more detail. It is alarming to read such things. :-\
I'm sure it's possible that canola oil could be unhealthy, but this article is unreferenced, completely sentationalist, and bordering on the ridiculous. It carries on about how canola is genetically modified as though that is proof that it's dangerous - yes technically it is an engineered plant, but that just means that it's been selectively bred and crossed naturally with other varieties.
I'd like to see some references on the supposed mad cow-canola link too - it's been well established that mad cow disease is caused by a build up of infectious proteins that cause plaques to form in the brain, transmitted by ingesting an infected individual. The reason the animals stopped getting BSE is probably because they stopped being fed other infected animals, nothing to do with canola - but if one is going to make that claim, you better have some references to back it up...
Don't believe everything you read on the internet...

Exactly.

so this is where all the action has been lately ;D
You people are hilarious! Take it or leave it – Canola oil is not good for you!
Hmmmm....
Ah Urban Legends are just that because people continue to spread them.

Nice try but, I dont buy it.

Me neither. Thanks for bringing the truth to light.
All things in moderation, right? Probably the brain cells killed worrying about what kind of oil is in some random vegan junk food at the store more than compensate for whatever the oil will do. Just sayin. Feel free to tell me to shut up.

Haha, silly people not blindly accepting the word of anonymous unsubstantiated internet stories!
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.
What scientific rigour. Reminds me of another important study I read recently, http://www.seanbonner.com/blog/archives/001857.php.
completely irrelevant--I'll see if I remember this right:
a = b
ab = b^2
ab - a^2 = b^2 - a^2
a * ( b - a ) = ( b - a ) * ( b + a )
a = b + a
1 = 2
:)
also, I believe it can be proven that girls = evil.
I need to stop slacking now...and need not to have made pancakes at 11:30 pm...
lol baypuppy yer so funny hehehe..
and divadee.. you are sorta ridiculous.. i like you tho.. you post lots of funny things that i get to read and realize there is no scientific proof for what they claim.. then i get to read awesome articles with scientific proof stating the opposite of what you post.. from now on i will automatically just assume whatever you post is a funny joke and the opposite of reality :)
you know what else kills? animal products. but you don't see massive freak outs about eating cheese (indeed, get yourself pooping again with "fiber action" cheese)
WOW. Touché. Well done, my friend, well done.
:coolsmile:
Wait, we should totally write something like this about meat or dairy. Like,
"OMGZ! Extensive, irrefutable scientific evidence by an unnamed body of researchers proves that ingesting the fermented breastmilk and mucus as well as the decaying flesh of hormone-ridden bovines KILLS ANIMALS AND HUMANS ALIKE."
We'll circulate it all over teh internets.
Maybe then people would believe it.

Haha, "fiber action" cheese :-D
And don't forget the "soluble fibre" yogurt Activia, carried in women's purses throughout Europe!!
(If you believe the commercials...and who doesn't believe commercials?)

Sorry, I'm just chiming in to point out that "genetically modified" is not the same thing as a hybrid. Crossing different kinds of canola plants to come up with a new variety with different attributes has been going on for a long time. But "genetically modified" frequently involves splicing genes from other species and even organisms into the dna of the plant so that is how you wind up with tomatoes with salmon genes in them, etc. Which is actually going on right now and I'm not sensationalizing this point. Genetically modified foods are not created through a natural process and that is why they cause alarm in some scientists and consumers.
;)b THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for posting this issue.
I try to avoid Canola oil as much as possible as it is derived from the rapeseed plant which contains high amounts of euric acid (this is the acid that crystalizes in the joints in individuals who have Gout, if that helps). Rapeseed oil is used in machinery and not intended for human consumption. Aside from being highly genetically modified Canola oil still contains a percentage of the dangerous euric acid.
Unfourtunatly, becuase of the health craze canola oil is being used in so many products...Especially healthly food products so its harder to aviod than one would wish.
There is actually some evidence that Canada, the producers of canola oil, payed of the FDA to bypass some tests. I recently emailed the Canada council of canola oil the other day and asked them if i could look at thier scientific studies. I am currently in the process of doing that...once i discover anything of value ill be sure to post!
basically though, its too controversial right now. i wouldnt recommend using it in excess...its in enough products we buy anyways...
