Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I've read this info for a few years now and avoid canola oil. Have you checked out coconut oil for high temp? This stuff seems good for lots of things.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hi Karen, This was surprising news to me too when I first heard it. I thought there was a canola plant out there doing its thing and that is how we got canola oil. I tried to look up more information about this for you, but it seems to be one of the divisive topics that you get a bunch of he said/she said sort of stuff. Not terribly helpful. But from what I gathered, everyone agrees that canola oil is the result of manipulation. For me, that fact alone decides where I draw the line. That may still be acceptible territory for others, that is fine too.
