James, Here are some links, though if you know about Mary Enig you've probably seen these. http://www.all-organic-food.com/canola.htm http://www.ospc.com/coco.htm And the following paragraph, excerpted from this website: http://www.consciouschoice.com/healthconscious/healthconscious1307.html Enig is concerned that many people seem to use canola oil almost exclusively for their oil needs -- from high-heat cooking to salad dressings. "Canola is a highly unsaturated oil and in order to be stabilized it has to be deodorized...and in doing so...it's a source of trans-fatty acids." In an oil producer's deodorization process, trans-fatty acids are created in canola oil without undergoing the hydrogenation process. Her advice is to buy high-quality canola oil from a reputable supplier who processes it without heat and to limit its use to salad dressings. Sulfur compounds are created in cooking and baking. James, do you have any references other than from Dr. Enig? In any case, for me it's not an issue. There's too much controversy surrounding Canola oil to eat it. And yes, I agree with you that it's ubiquitous. This makes it mandatory to read every damn label all the time! Best, Nina -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
