"The truth about canola oil, its origins, and the its health effects." Hey, Howdy, Hey, it's Woody! I mean Marco! Canola Oil is good for you right? Wrong! Canola oil sucks! Like cottonseed oil, or hydrogenated oils, this was never meant for human consumption. Did you ever ask yourself what a "canola" plant is? Or where you find "canola" seeds? Ain't no such thing. This word comes from the con-traction of "Canadian oil", and is purely a promotional, made-up name. It actually comes from the seeds of the rapeseed (Latin for rapa or turnip) plant. Canada is the prime pro-ducer of rapeseed, and always has been. It was used industrially for a long time. Canola is not even fit for animal feed because of the high erucic acid level. Erucic acid (aka docos-enoic acid) is a very toxic plant compound that comprises about 50% of regular rapeseed and mustard oil. This plant was severely genetically engineered over a long period of time to reduce the erucic acid to less than 2%. To be called "canola oil" it must contain less than 2% erucic acid. You're still eating toxic erucic acid! This was never meant by nature for people or animals, and is purely a commercial production for profit. Like cottonseed oil (which is also unfit for humans), the whole motive here is profit. Ok, so there's nuthin' wrong with makin' a profit...but makin' a "killing?"
