It is Rapeseed. Much is grown in Canada, hence "Can-oil". Most is genetically engineered. It is an industrial penetrating oil. I do not have hard proof, but until I can find more information, I am avoiding it.
Search for "Mary Enig". The rise of heart attacks exactly follows the use of modified industrial oils as food. Remember those studies where people at oatmeal and bran muffins and not much else, and their cholesterol went down? Well, what they did not tell you was the low cholesterol group had more heart attacks than the ones who kept eating animal fat.
