· It is genetically engineered rapeseed.
· Canada paid the FDA the sum of $50 million to have rape seed registered and recognized as "safe". (Source: Young Again and others)
· Rapeseed is a lubricating oil used by small industry. It has never been meant for human consumption.
· It is derived from the mustard family and is considered a toxic and poisonous weed, which when processed, becomes rancid very quickly.
· It has been shown to cause lung cancer (Wall Street Journal: 6/7/95)
· It is very inexpensive to grow and harvest. Insects won't eat it.
· Some typical and possible side effects include loss of vision, disruption of the central nervous system, respiratory illness, anemia, constipation, increased incidence of heart disease and cancer, low birth weights in infants and irritability.
· Generally rapeseed has a cumulative effect, taking almost 10 years before symptoms begin to manifest. It has a tendency to inhibit proper metabolism of foods and prohibits normal enzyme function. Canola is a Trans Fatty Acid, which has shown to have a direct link to cancer. These Trans Fatty acids are labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Avoid all of them!
· According to John Thomas' book, Young Again, 12 years ago in England and Europe, rape seed was fed to cows, pigs and sheep who later went blind and began attacking people. There were no further attacks after the rape seed was eliminated from their diet.

A great deal of misinformation about canola's safety has been distributed by certain individuals. Impartial professionals in the fields of nutrition, biology and food science were contacted to provide the answers below. We have listed the statements made in the form of questions and answers to better help you understand what is fact and what is fiction or myth
Just this week there was a post about this subject, someone asked mentioned that Canola oil was dangerous and someone else said no, its find. So I googled it and found exactly the same thing, half the articles said it was great, the other said that your talking your life in your hands by using it. The label says that it has the lowest number of bad fats, but where does it come from. Olive oil, peanut oil, safflower oil all comes from something we know about. Canola oil, it turns out comes from Canada and the name comes from Canada and oil. Its genetically engineered plant developed from something called a rapeseed, which is a part of the mustard family. According to AgriAlternatives (which may have an agenda just by their name alone, but this is a website that does sing the praises of canola oil) rapeseed oil have long been used to produce oils for industries, and are toxic to humans and other animals. I found where it is used as an excellent insect repellent, lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines.
Now it sounds like I also have an agenda, and I do, my own health. I have heard that if you make sure you purchase expeller-pressed canola it is fine, but otherwise you absolutely should stay away from Canola oil and use olive oil instead.
And by the way there are tons of studies now being done on both the benefits and the health hazard from olive oil, but at least we all know what an olive looks like.
