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. Source: David Dancu, N.D.

between the food we eat and fatal diseases. Canola oil is no exception.

Readers of EOO are familiar with the meat industry practice of feeding

rendered meat " by-products " to cattle and poultry (EOO #015), and the

suspected relationship of Mad Cow Disease to CJD and Alzheimer's Disease

(EOO #016). Now comes information that Canola Oil is the suspected causative

agent for Scrapie, a viral disease transmitted to cattle who were fed

rendered sheep infected with Scrapie. Both Scrapie and Mad Cow Disease

destroy the brain's ability to function. They literally eat the brain away,

causing blindness, loss of mind and erratic behavior.

> Canola oil's real name is " LEAR " oil (Low Erucic Acid Rape). it is more

commonly known as " rape oil, " a semi-drying oil that is used as a lubricant,

fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base, and as an illuminant to give color

pages in magazines their slick look. In short it is an industrial oil that

does not belong in the human body. It is typically referred to in light

industry as a penetrating oil.

>

> Back in the 1980's, rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England

and throughout Europe. It was banned in 1991. Since then, Scrapie in sheep

has totally disappeared.

>

> While that's good for Europeans, it is bad for Americans because the

problem is now ours. Rape seed oil (Canola oil) is widely used in thousands

of processed foods...with the blessings of our own government.

>

> Canola oil was first developed in Canada. It's proponents claim that due

to genetic engineering and irradiation, it is no longer rape oil, but

" canola " (Canadian oil). They also claim it is completely safe, pointing to

it's unsaturated structure and digestibility. Although, I could not verify

it, it is claimed the Canadian government paid the FDA the sum of $50

million dollars to have canola oil placed on the GRAS list (Generally

Recognized As Safe). However it was done, a new industry was created.

>

> The truth is however, that rape is the most toxic of all food oil plants.

Not even insects will eat it. No wonder farmers like growing it. It turns

out that rape is a member of the mustard family of plants, and is the source

for the chemical agent, mustard gas, which causes blistering on skin and

lungs when inhaled. Mustard Gas was banned after WWI for this very reason.

>

> Studies of canola oil done on rats indicate many problems. Rats developed

fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals and thyroid gland. When the

canola oil was withdrawn from their diet, the deposits dissolved, but scar

tissue remained on the organs. Why were no studies done on humans before the

FDA placed it on the GRAS list?

>

> Consumed in food, Canola oil depresses the immune system, causing it to

" go to sleep. " Canola oil is high in glycosides which cause health problems

by blocking (inhibiting) enzyme function. it's effects are accumulative,

taking years to show up. One possible effect of long term use is the

destruction of the protective coating surrounding nerves called the mylin

sheath. When this protective sheath is gone, our nerves short-circuit

causing erratic, uncontrollable movements.

>

> To test the industrial penetrating strength of canola oil, soak a towel in

both canola oil and regular vegetable oil. Pre-treat and wash the towel in

your clothes washer and compare the area the two oils occupied...you will

notice an oil stain remains on the area soaked in canola oil. It is so

durable, it could take several washings to completely remove. Now if this is

how canola oil penetrates the fabric of a towel, what damage can it do in

your body?

>

> Because canola oil is so cheap, it is now widely used in the food

industry. If you are curious, just read a few food labels the next time you

are in the grocery store. A good example can be found with commercially

prepared peanut butter. In order to give peanut butter it's spreadability,

Jiffy, Peter Pan and Skippy brands remove ALL of the natural peanut oil and

replace it with canola oil. Natural peanut butter should only have peanuts

and salt listed in the ingredients.

>

> If you want to use natural peanut butter, it's available in most stores

next to the canola peanut butter. Stir the contents to mix the oil and

peanuts together then store in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will

prevent the peanut oil from separating. Best of all, you will have

eliminated at least one source of a potential food hazard.

>

> Food consumers have headaches enough, without worrying about a toxic

plant oil being added to their food. The problem is you will find canola oil

in bread, margarines, and all manner of processed foods including potato

chips. But the consumer is king. Be informed and make it a practice to read

the package ingredients label as to what is in the food. Avoid using canola

as a cooking oil and salad oil. It is not a healthy oil. It'll work great

for lubricating mechanical items.

> OUR RECOMMENDATIONS: Pure Olive oil only. Safflower and Sunflower oils are

OK, but they contain Omega 6 which is not a good option for the heart or the

mylin sheaths. We automatically reject any foods, packaged or otherwise,

which have in the label " ...may contain vegetable oil, cottonseed, canola

oil.. " And if the label just says vegetable oil, we reject it outright since

it does not specify which oil. Go here for an eye opening article of one

parent and some of the effects of using Canola oil.

subject:

tons of research on the subject.

>

> Resources: One has to be careful of the amount of information being put

out about canola oil, much which we consider disinformation and only related

to making money be people. Again, keep an open mind and then you will not

miss anything.
