The Health Effects Of Canola Oil - None Dare Call It Rape
By Don Harkins for the SPOTLIGHT

The cheapest cooking oil on the market today is called canola.
It is used to fry potatoes in fast food restaurants and is
found on the list of ingredients for mayonnaise sold in health
food stores. Canola is taking the place of peanut oil in
peanut butter and is being blended with olive oil for domestic
kitchen use.
Canola is a name that recently appeared in the marketplace and
is apparently derived from Canadian-oil. Canola oil is
actually produced from the rape seed plant. Rape (Brassica
napus), a member of the mustard family, is listed in the
Encyclopedia Britannica as a poisonous plant with toxic effects
which include pulmonary emphysema, respiratory distress,
anemia, constipation, irritability and blindness in cattle.
According to John Thomas, author of Young Again: How to Reverse
the Aging Process, The name canola disguised the introduction
of rape oil to America.
Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in Great Britain
between 1986 and 1991 at which time its use was discontinued,
Thomas wrote.
Most people remember the mad cow disease epidemic and that
cows, pigs and sheep went blind, behaved insanely, attacked
other animals and people and had to be destroyed.
Reports at the time blamed the erratic behavior of livestock on
a viral disease called scrapie (in sheep and pigs) and mad cow
disease in cattle. However, when rape oil was removed from
animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared, Thomas explained.
According to Dr. Len Horowitz, author of Emerging Viruses, AIDS
and Ebola: Nature, Accident or Intentional, "What is scrapie in
sheep, mad cow disease in cattle, wasting disease in wild game
animals, whirling disease in fish is Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease
in people."
English experts told people not to panic if they had been
cooking with rape oil when mad cow disease was at its peak
in Great Britain, said Thomas. The 'experts' added that the
effects of rape oil ingestion takes at least 10 years to
manifest.
With grain prices down and grass seed growers faced with
increasing opposition to their seasonal field burning,
beautiful yellow rape fields are contrasting deep green
panoramas of what has traditionally been field after field of
grasses and grains in the northwest United States. Rape, the
most toxic of all food-oil plants that has no natural insectoid
predators, is a weed that can grow vigorously in most climates
and terrains throughout North America.
Rape toxicity
The toxic properties of the rape plant are cyanide-containing
compounds called isothiocyanates. Thomas explains that cyanide
inhibits the production of ATP in our bodies. ATP is the
energy molecule that powers the body and keeps us healthy and
young.
According to Thomas, "...glaucoma is the result of insufficient
blood flow due to agglutination (clumping together) of the red
blood cells and waste buildup on the cells and intercellular
fluids." Thomas believes that ingestion of rape over time may
cause glaucoma.
Thomas also believes that ingestion of rape over several years
causes other vision irregularities such as retinitis.
Thomas explains how the clumped red blood cells cannot squeeze
through the tiny capillaries in the posterior of the eye and,
therefore, cannot deliver oxygen to the mitochondria (the
rod-shaped bodies in a cell that facilitate the metabolism of
fats, sugars and proteins).
Rape oil, as metabolized in the body, produces the latex-like
substance that causes the agglutination of red blood cells,
explained Thomas.
In this respect, glaucoma has much in common with hair loss,
Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and
hearing problems.
Rape and the central nervous system
Rape is an acetlycholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholine is
critical to the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles.
When the normal function of aceytlcholinesterase is
compromised, nerve fibers are not able to send the signals
properly and muscles will not respond as expected.
In the last 20 years we have seen a dramatic increase in
muscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral
palsy. Soy and (rape) oils are players in the outbreak of
these disease conditions. So are the organophosphates --
insecticides such as malthion -- used in food production in
the name of efficiency, commented Thomas.
There are many people throughout the country who are convinced
that rape oil is poisonous to the human body and that the body
digests rape in such a fashion that congests the blood and
restricts the flow of lymph fluid which can cause a myriad of
physical and psychological disorders. Moreover, using
processed foods containing canola oil, soy oil and chemical
additives confuses the body and weakens the immune system,
continued Thomas.
Thomas recommends that anybody who desires to enjoy optimal
health must take personal responsibility for what they put into
their bodies. 'Health care' industry is an oxymoron, concluded
Thomas; it protects its own health and its own economic
interests. Learn to protect your health and economic interests
by learning how to take care of yourself. Then act on that
knowledge.
