The rapeseed extract in "Lorenzo's Oil" is erucic acid. Canola oil is from rapeseed developed to be very low in erucic acid which is why the more technical name for canola oil is "low erucic acid rapeseed oil." However, I still think canola oil is evil. Olive oil, nut oils, and butter are the lipids of choice in our household. -- John A. Stanley [email protected] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
