Genectically engineered foods undesirable for several reasons. One of the "engineered qualities" is that these seeds are created to be resistant to herbicides such as Roundup. His allows entire fields to be sprayed rather than spot treatments which are more time consuming and expensive. This exposes our food supplies to these harmful chemicals as well as adding large amounts of the chemcals to our soil and water supplies. Not to mention that we won't know how the genectically modified foods themselves will affect our bodies over the long term. We are now seeing "super weeds" that have become resistant to chemicals such as Roundup. This will lead to the use of even stronger chemicals in larger quantities, therefore creating a vivious cycle. This is just one example of GE food alterations. Foods are being mutated with other goals in mind also, such as pesticide resistant, leading to the same kinds of chemical anD insect affects. The hormones of these plants are being manipulated for various growth goals. We don't know what long term affects this could have on our own health, etc.

I avoid Canola oil like the plague IT IS !!! Read labels always and leave it on the shelves. I also prefer butter, olive oil, or lemon juice.. Keep it real...

When I cruised the Danube, we saw fields of yellow flowers and were told they were what canola oil was
made out of.

After consuming Canola oil myself years ago,I did a lot of frying mind you, I noticed that at night after using it,I would get very nervous and jittery,insomnia,and I just didn't feel right. I decided to do a little research on line,and low and behold all the bad stories,like even used as mustard gas in WW2! Well I decided to test the remaining Canola oil and put it to the test! I poured some on the sidewalk,and it remained there for like two months,even through rain! Also I decided to put some in a sprayer and it kills insects on contact and it kills weeds and grass too! I wish they would just stop using this stuff for a food product,maybe this is why people are getting more sick then ever.

I have Canola Oil, its light and I also read an article which states that Canola Oil can help people lose Visceral Fat (Fat around the tummy). You can see the difference in 2 months' time!

Canola is better than Sunflower oil / refined Oil / Butter............

" I poured some on the sidewalk,and it remained there for like two months,even through rain!"

Sounds pretty typical for *any* kind of oil, as you may be aware oil and water don't mix. And spraying an insect with *any* kind of oil is going to ruin its day.

What you have posted is the classic Agribusiness spiel on Canola. What nonsense. Canola oil will kill you. Rape seed oil is poison. People there is huge money involved in punting Canola so don't believe anything you read especially wikipedia articles which are easily manipulated to a ceratin view point and read like fact whne in fact wiki themselves state that their articles should be read with a large dose of salt. The minute a manufacturer says "there is no conclusive evidence"!!!!!
