You didn't read the later post. A German scientist published re. GM canola. You can eat soy also. But it is thyroid antagonistic and mimics estrogen to some extent.
I find much of the "facts" depend on what maketing group you quote. Also I didn't write. I wrote "you may find this interesting" The rest was written by a physician and proper credit should be given the author. -----Original Message----- From: F.

Here is a summary of a few facts regarding Canola Oil: It is genetically engineered rapeseed." Wrong, as pointed out by another listmember. "Canada paid the FDA the sum of $50 million to have rape registered" Unlikely, as no prior approval would have been required from the FDA, so why pay them anything? "Rapeseed is a lubricating oil used by small industry. It has never been meant for human consumption." The following is from Purseglove: Tropical Crops (1968) Quote: Brassica napus L. (2n+38) RAPE Rape was in ancient cultivation in the Mediterranean region. It is grown in Europe as green fodder for livestock and for its seeds from which rape or colza oil is extracted, for which purpose it is also grown in Japan. The residual rape-seed cake is fed to livestock. Rape oil is edible; it is used for greasing loaves of bread before baking. It is also used as an illuminant and lubricant and for soap manufacture. Rape is not much grown in the tropics... End Quote. This information is somewhat out of date, as "huile de colza" is now a popular salad oil in France, and I would guess elsewhere in the Common Market.
