Consumption. S

YBefore you read the following article, here is a summary of a few facts

regarding Canola Oil:

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. Source: David Dancu, N.D.

It's amazing to me...The more research I do, the more I see a relationship

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.

Canola oil is a GM or genetically modified product You have read about GM foods?

If not, you need to go to our page about such products..

In addition, a recent report from the EPA (1998) states that they have

classified canola oil as a biopesticide which ... " has low chronic toxicities " .

Further, they say that no studies have been done regarding toxic effects on

Humans. The fact that they state that it is a pesticide and that there have been

no studies, plus the fact it is a GM food, says to us it is something to stay

away from! It is like so many other things " they " say are good for us like

fluoride, canola oil and fluoride both accumulate and build up in the Human

systems.

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. Its 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 (what we do): Pure Olive oil only. Safflower and Sunflower

oils are OK, and a new one Macadamia nut oil, but safflower and sunflower oils

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.

We strongly suggest you go to the following web site for more on this subject:

http://www.dldewey.com/hydroil.htm. This is an extensive web site with tons of

research on the subject.

 

Additional Resources: One has to be careful of the amount of information put out

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

making money by those who produce the product or those who have used the

product. Again, keep an open mind and then you will not miss anything.
