I have looked in to this a little bit........the Canola that we grow here is NOT the same as rape seed...........it is related however.....Canola is a hybrid plant. I am not defending canola oil in any way....just don't want anyone to be mislead by propaganda. To say that insects will not eat it is also a lie {as far as canola is concerned}. We must use certain precautions against insects with our canola crop. I'm no expert as to the effects of ingestiin canola oil...I am however an expert at growing canola. Most of what we grow on our farm is used for alternitive diesel fuel. The canola plant is NOT deadly poisonous...PERIOD!!!!...Robb

(* taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus.)
I read about a man who bred birds, always checking labels to insure there was no rape seed in their food. He said, "The birds will eat it, but they do not live very long." A friend, who worked for only 9 mo. as a quality control taster
at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying,
developed numerous health problems.
