Now I "believe I" know why I am seeing so much cottonseed oil used in things. I did not start looking until they started using Canola oil, though.
Soybean oil often has solvents still in it from the manufacturing
process, cottonseed is not a good oil, and Canola from rapeseed will keep
your cholesterol down while it strips the myelin sheath off of your nerves.

coconut oil and aids
>"Enig also stated: �The problems for coconut oil started four decades
ago when researchers
fed animals hydrogenated coconut oil that was purposely altered to
make it completely
devoid of any essential fatty acids...The animals fed the hydrogenated
coconut oil (as the
only fat source) naturally became essential fatty acid deficient; their
serum cholesterol
increased. Diets that cause an essential fatty acid deficiency always
produce an increase in
serum cholesterol levels as well as in increase in the atherosclerotic
indices. The same
effect has also been seen when other ...highly hydrogenated oils such
as cottonseed,
soybean or corn oils have been fed; so it is clearly a function of
the hydrogenated products,
either because the oil is essential fatty acid (EFA) deficient or because
of trans fatty
acids.�
What about studies where animals were fed unprocessed coconut oil? Enig
wrote: �Hostmark et
al (1980) compared the effects of diets containing 10% coconut oil
and 10% sunflower oil
on lipoprotein distribution in male Wistar rats. Coconut oil feeding
produced significantly
lower levels (p=0.05) of pre-beta lipoproteins (VLDL) and significantly
higher (p=<0.01)
alpha-lipoproteins (HDL) relative to sunflower feeding.� (Editor�s
note: HDLs are
considered the good cholesterol as they prevent deposits of LDL cholesterol
on artery walls.)
She also cited a study by Awad (1981) on Wistar rats fed a diet of
either 14% (natural) coconut
oil or 14% safflower oil. She stated:�Total tissue cholesterol accumulation
for animals on the
safflower diet was six times greater than for animals fed the [unhydrogenated]
coconut
oil..A conclusion that can be drawn from some of the animal research
is that feeding
hydrogenated coconut oil devoid of essential fatty acids(EFA)...potentiates
the formation
of atherosclerosis markers. It is of note that animals fed regular
coconut oil have less
cholesterol deposited in their livers and other parts of their bodies.�
Enig also referred to
epidemiological studies done by Kaunitz and Dayrit (1992) on coconut
eating societies who
found that �available population studies show that dietary coconut
oil does not lead to high
serum cholesterol nor to high coronary heart disease..� It is noteworthy
that hydrogenated
coconut oil was not consumed by these coconut eating societies; they
only consumed natural
coconut oil."<

Has anyone thought - If Olestra keeps you from being able
to utilize
those vitamins,
what use is there to adding them to the chips?

Genetically Modified Soybeans, Cottonseed Recommended as Safe in AustraliaXinhua
17-FEB-99CANBERRA (Feb. 17) XINHUA - Genetically modified soybeans and cottonseed have
been recommended as safe for use in Australian foods in the first assessment
of its kind by the country's food standards body.Food containing Roundup Ready soybeans or Ingard Cottonseed will not need to
be labeled initially, because these products have been assessed as
"substantially equivalent" to unmodified soybeans and cottonseed, the
Australian New Zealand Food Authority (ANZFA) said Wednesday.But foods containing these modified products will have to be labeled when a
more stringent labeling standard, still being developed, comes into force."ANZFA has found, following rigorous examination of test data, that Roundup
Ready soybeans and Ingard Cottonseed have no public health and safety
concerns," ANZFA said in a statement."These products were also found to be substantially equivalent to food from
their conventional counterparts in respect of its composition, safety,
wholesomeness and use."Industry, professional and consumer groups will be asked to comment on the
assessments before health ministers consider the matter in April this year.Public comments on the testing process also will be accepted. Ingard cotton is
grown in Australia. Cottonseed oil extracted from it is used in a variety of
foods, including for frying, mayonnaise and salad dressings.Roundup Ready soybeans are imported from the United States and used in
vegetable oil and protein meal supplied to animal feed manufacturers.=================================
