Hey People,
Before this gets into an oil war I want to share what I know about Canola;
and the easiest way to do that in any meaningful way is to quote from my
upcoming book. THIS MATERIAL IS COPYRIGHTED AND *MUST* REMAIN ON THIS LIST
and NOT be disseminated all over the Internet, or even privately to one
friend. Please! This is how I earn my living, by writing!
And now for the excerpt. Note that I am discussing Canola in regard to one's
diet and NOT as an alternative diesel fuel (yes, there IS a place for you
and other farmers like yourself, Robb).
*********
One highly controversial oil, Canola, comes from the rapeseed plant and is
grown extensively in Canada. To make the oil more appealing to a mass
market, Canadian scientists renamed the product "Canola," short for
"Canadian oil." There are conflicting reports of how the oil was developed.
Some scientists claim that they used manual cross-breeding techniques on two
related cruciferous plants, both known as rapeseed, to lower the
naturally-occurring euric acid content of the plants (which they felt was
excessive). But Sally Fallon [author of *Nourishing Traditions*] gives an
entirely different story that Canola is a genetically engineered plant,
created by bombarding the seeds with radiation. Regardless of how the oil
originated, at least 50% of today's Canola crop is genetically engineered by
the Monsanto corporation to make it resistant to its herbicide Round Up.
Assuming the best-case scenario-that your Canola oil was never genetically
engineered, that it's organic, and even considering its beneficial
monounsaturated fat content-the enormous pressure with which it is processed
produces high heat, which creates harmful fatty acids. So it might be wise
to avoid Canola oil entirely. [Copyright 2001 by Nina Silver]

It took me a long time to figure out what the story is on Canola oil, based
on the numerous truths and half-truths floating around. I hope this helps
clarify the issue.
