The Canola *Hoax*- (Revisited) JoAnn Guest Jun 21, 2005 20:29 PDT

 

 

 

The high praise for Canola is propaganda put forth by the Canadian

government because " can-ola, " a hybridized rape plant, is one of

that nation's chief export products.

 

The truth is that rapeseed oil (canola) contains toxic 'erucic' acid.

 

Health food store operators parrot the hype without checking out any of

the facts.

 

Consumers search out various products with Canola oil in them

because they believe that it is somehow much healthier than other oils.

 

All food grade Canola, including the varieties sold in health food

stores, are deodorized with 300 degree F. high-temperature " refining " .

 

You cannot cook a vegetable oil at that " temperature " and leave behind

anything very edible.

 

In 1996, the Japanese announced a study wherein a special Canola oil

diet had actually killed laboratory animals.

 

Reacting to this unpublished, but verified and startling information, a

duplicate

study was conducted by Canadian scientists using piglets and a

Canola oil based milk replacer diet.

 

In this second study published in Nutrition Research, 1997, v17, the

researchers verified that Canola oil somehow " depleted " the piglets of

vitamin E to a dangerously low level.

 

In the abstract of the study, the Canadian researchers made the

following remarkable statement:

 

It is known that ingestion of oils containing polyunsaturated fatty

acids (PUFA) of the n-3 and n -6 series results in a high degree of

unsaturation in membrane

phospholipids, which in turn may increase lipid peroxidation,

cholesterol oxidation, free radical accumulation and membrane damage.

 

All very bad attributes.

 

That statement is remarkable because PUFA is considered essential to

a healthy diet. Yet none of the above listed results of eating it

may be considered healthy.

 

So now we have something seemingly brand new to the dietary health

arena.

Here the Canadians are condemning an oil that supposedly contains

essential fatty acids.

 

EFAs cannot stand heat.

 

They turn rancid quickly.

Proper processing, i.e., cold pressing, and protection from oxygen

for storage is paramount with EFAs.

 

Mainstream toxic commercial food making requires complete removal

of EFAs lest shelf life disappear in smelly rancidity.

 

Absent the removal of EFAs, few manufactured toxic chemical foods

would make it out of the warehouse.

 

So, here we have Canadians telling us that their country's main oil

export kills little animals (piglets).

 

They suggest that perhaps it was the health giving EFAs

left in the Canola oil after it had been " scorched " at temperatures

above 300 degrees Fahrenheit to get rid of the EFAs.

 

They don't tell you that whatever EFAs are left in the oil,

are now poisonous " rancid " fats.

 

It may be that the now toxic remnants are what's killing

the vitamin E, and killing the little piggies.

I think the

Canadians produced that deceptive half truth to protect their

careers from grant drought.

 

Firstly, the idea of something depleting vitamin E rapidly is an

alarming development.

Vitamin E is absolutely essential to human health, and when so much PUFA

is

available to diet as it is today, the demand evidently becomes even more

" imperative " because

tocopherols " control " the " lipid peroxidation "

that results in " dangerous " *free radical* " activity " ,

 

which causes lesions in arteries and other problems.

 

Canola oil now has been shown to be a very heavy abuser of tocopherols

or vitamin E,

with the potential for rapidly depleting a

body of the important vitamin.

 

The researchers did not know what factors in the Canola oil were

responsible.

 

They reported that other vegetable seed oils did not appear to cause the

same problem in piglets.

 

====================================================================

" Genetically Manipulated " Canola Seed Gets Loose In The Fields

 

Monsanto announced in April 1997, that it was recalling genetically

engineered Canola seed because an *unapproved gene* slipped into the

batch by mistake.

 

The Canola seed had been " genetically manipulated "

to resist the herbicide toxicity of Roundup, which is Monsanto's top

money making product.

 

The recall involved 60,000 bags containing two types of Canola seed,

which is enough to plant more than 700,000

acres. Both types of seed have the wrong gene in them.

 

The genes in

the recalled seed have not been approved for human consumption.

 

A spokesman for Limagrain Canada Seeds, which was selling the seeds

under a Monsanto license, said that experts are trying to determine

how the mistake occurred. " We may never know how this happened " , he

lamented.

 

The implications of this error are serious.

 

No one in his right mind is unconcerned about " genetic manipulations "

getting lost.

 

On January 26, 1998 Omega Nutrition, one of the major producers of

organic, cold pressed oils for the health food store market published a

press release.

 

The release states that if you are cooking with Canola oil of any

quality, you may as well be using *margarine*.

 

In the case of refined Canola oil, the important health benefits have

been processed away-

 

leaving the consumer with the nutrition of say, white flour- and,

dangerous 'trans-fatty acids' have " replaced " a lot of the

 

beneficial omega 3 essential fatty acids.

 

MARGARINE isn't raised as an issue on those pages. So I will make a

brief statement here about it.

 

(Oleo) Margarine isn't food.

 

It is a manufactured grease concocted in a machine from various oils and

chemicals.

 

Canola and soy fats (soybean oils) are in nearly all margarines.

 

This butter 'substitute' does not exist in nature.

 

It cannot be grown or converted from a natural food as butter and cheese

is.

 

It was invented to win a prize when Napolean III was surrounded and

ran a contest for a " palatable grease " for his otherwise " dry bread " .

 

Most restaurants substitute it for butter without " notice " to you.

 

Commercially manufactured ingestables use margarine wherever Canola

cannot be used in their recipe that otherwise would use butter.

 

There are licensed dieticians and physicians who, in total

ignorance, will sincerely urge you

 

to eat this *poison*

in pursuit of better health.

 

The usual canard is,

 

" It will reduce your cholesterol

levels. "

 

which is yet another awesome fraud

 

 

THE CANOLA STORY

 

It's often called Canada's " miracle crop " . It's marketed as a

healthy alternative, and, for the moment, growers can even make a

living.

But is Canola oil actually healthy? And for whom?

 

The name

Canola, from " Canada oil " , was the signal that some sophisticated

marketing was going to take place.

 

Canola was the first crop created modern plant breeding methods. It

is usually credited to Baldur Stefanson at the University of Manitoba,

who took rapeseeed,

previously used as a " lubricant " in ship engines,

and bred varieties that were low in erucic acid and glucosinates.

 

In 1979 the Rapeseed Crushers Association decided the new " double low "

varieties

should be given a different name to avoid association with previous

rapeseed products sold as cooking oil.

 

It was no coincidence the new name rhymed with granola.

As concerns over levels of saturated fat

in other oil products grew, the new product entered the market as an

alternative low in saturated fat, but high in desirable oleic acid.

 

Demand skyrocketed and farmers rushed to buy seed.

 

But before we add the happy-ever-after to this technological tale,

there are some important issues to consider.

 

What might seem healthy

for city dwellers to consume isn't necessarily healthy for people

where it is grown, for workers who handle the materials used, or for

the environment. A typical Canola crop starts with seeds treated

with fungicide for seedling diseases,

and often an insecticide to

prevent damage from flea beetles.

 

After the seedlings emerge,

herbicides are applied to control weeds. Canola yields can also be

affected by a variety of insect problems, for which the remedy is

often aerial spraying, and a fungus problem just prior to harvest

called Sclerotinia.

 

This focus on chemicals isn't that different from cereal crops that

are grown conventionally and this is not to say that other oilseeds

are any better.

 

The problem is that instead of finding ways to use less or no

herbicides and a lot less fuel and synthetic fertilizer, we are

promoting a crop that is very difficult to grow organically.

 

Also, Canola is the first crop in Canada to receive a license

for " transgenic " varieties - plants altered with *genetic* material

from other plants or animals.

 

Typically, the transgenic varieties are designed by chemical companies

to

require the application of their favorite brand of herbicide.

 

Given the cancer risk, would you call a food crop that is

increasingly dependent on herbicides, fungicides,

and even aerial spraying of pesticides, " healthy? "

 

While

prairie provinces export thousands of tonnes of Canola oil (and they

have begun to make a diesel fuel out of it), if you want to buy a

quality cold pressed edible version, you're not going to find a

prairie product.

 

This to me is the equivalent of France selling no

Champagne, no Beaujolais, just cheap plonk in screw top bottles.

 

In most cases the best ingredients in oil are seriously damaged or

destroyed by the " industrial-type processing " that occurs.

 

As detailed by oils expert Udo Erasmus, in his 1988 pamphlet Fats that

Heal,

Fats that Kill, most refined " commerical " oil is refined with *acids*

and the same base that 'unclogs' drains.

 

Then the " bleaching " process removes " every essential nutrient except

fatty acids. "

 

http://www.udoerasmus.com

 

Then deodorization by " steam distillation " distorts some fatty acids

into " trans-fatty acids " which interfere with beneficial ingredients

in oils.

 

But any of this is mostly irrelevant if we are eating deep-

fried doughnuts or French Fries, or frying our food until the oil

smokes or eating margarine made from hydrogenated oil.

 

And for most consumers that is their experience with Canola.

 

And so

it is only a cynical manipulation to promote the nutritional value

of Canola, when the nutrients don't make it to the table. This

manipulation -and the manipulation of seeds, of processes and

commodities markets - is only possible because most of our

population is no longer involved in food production. That's not

healthy.

THE CANOLA OIL HOAX

 

By Carol Clark Keppler, B.S., M.A.

Tue, 25 Aug 1998 13:56:39 -0400

---

Hoax? An intentional deception?

 

 

The truth is -- we don't know the truth, or we'd be more than a

little concerned. It looks like the American public has been sold a

bill of goods -- again.

 

We believed the immunization hype about flu

shots for adults, and that the AIDS epidemic was caused by " green

monkeys " , didn't we?

 

Here's the latest one -- Canola oil for health conscious Americans!

 

An overnight, instant top seller, Canola oil is on the tip of

everyone's tongue -- not to mention in their blood and throughout

their bodies.

 

Big displays in every health food store, touted in ads for healthy

french fries by a local burger place,

Canola oil is advertised by a

local supermarket as being in all their baked goods.

 

Used in salad dressings, in mayonnaise, cereals, cookies and in

thousands of foods -- Canola is there with government approval.

 

 

WHERE DID IT COME FROM?

 

How much do we know about it? Here are some facts:

 

1) Used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base as well

as an illuminant for slick color pages in magazines.

 

2) It forms " latex-like " substances that cause red blood corpuscles to

" clump " together.

 

3) It's real name is RAPESEED OIL, renamed, CANOLA OIL, (Canada Oil)

for obvious reasons. It's one of the main crops grown in Canada

where it is being field tested. It's grown in the United States as

well.

 

4) Rape Oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe

between 1986-1991 but no longer is used because of the animals that

went blind and mad ('MAD COW DISEASE').

 

5) Experts agree that the effects of ingested Rapeseed Oil take at

least 10 years to manifest - so not to be concerned.

 

6) Rapeseed is a member of the mustard family, one of the most toxic

of all plants, and is shunned by insects.

 

7) Mustard gas, which was banned in war because it blisters lungs

and skin, is made from rapeseeds.

 

=====================================================================

Irradiation (!) is used to turn the rapeseed oil into acceptable

Canola Oil??

 

What are the effects of Canola oil in our diet over a period of

time? I think we're just beginning to see them, but, as yet, no one

has put it all together. Symptoms usually come on so slowly one

might not be aware that there is a problem.

 

Strange new diseases involving the nervous system may be caused by

Canola oil which *dissolves* the " myelin sheath " off of the nerves

throughout the body.

 

As a matter of fact, the heating of most oils

during the cooking process does the same thing.

 

Very gradually over

the years, symptoms develop, which at first are perhaps only

annoying, but which eventually will be diagnosed as a disease.

 

Robert came to the Center with unexplained exhaustion and numbness

and tingling in his extremities. Mary's husband was concerned

because, he said, she was hyper-sensitive.

 

A 2 year-old child cried

all the time and was considered a " difficult child " .

 

Ray was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

 

June had heart arrhythmia's and a hearing problem

 

All these symptoms were linked to loss of " myelin

sheath " . Most of these people knew they had used Canola oil over the

years.

 

---

MILES OF NERVES

 

The nervous system, once the insulation is stripped, can be likened

to you home with bare wires inside the walls --a dangerous

situation. In the body, symptoms may be many and varied:

 

1) tremors, shaking, " palsy " due to malfunction of nerve impulse

transmissions,

2) uncoordination walking, writing and other automatic physical

movements,

3) slurred speech,

4) excessive salivation,

5) deterioration of memory and thinking processes,

6) blurred vision,

7) fuzzy or low audio levels,

difficulty urinating/incontinence,

9) environmental sensitivity/allergic to smells, food, clothing,

electrical equipment,

10) breathing problems/short of breath,

11) nervous/nervous breakdown,

12) numbness and tingling in extremities,

13) heart problems/arrhythmia's.

 

Little wonder. Canola oil contains " erucic acid " in the oil and

glucosinolates in the meal, both toxic to humans and animals.

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

 

Do not use Canola Oil. Read labels. If you eat out often, choose

restaurants that don't use Canola (ask!).

 

For cooking use Walnut Oil, Almond Oil, or Extra-virgin Olive oil.

It can be found

in some health food stores -- or make it yourself by skimming foam).

 

Good oils (other than for cooking/baking) are

Sesame oil and Extra-Virgin Olive oil.

 

Buy in glass containers -- never " pliable plastic " which leaches the

solvent " toluene " in the contents.

 

Make your concerns known to burger places, restaurants, bakeries,

supermarkets and with letters to newspapers.

Write to talk shows

like " 20/20 " * and " 60 Minutes " *.

Send this article and ask them to

investigate.

 

Demand full disclosure labeling and knowledge of testing procedures.

Request that notices be put up.

 

The body may be detoxified after the colon is cleansed and

functioning.

 

Thereafter, specific herbal formulas are used to

rebuild the myelin sheath. This process may take anywhere from 2 to

4 weeks.

 

S U M M A R Y

 

Before 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 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.

 

 

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

the diet.

======================================================================

By Jim Lynn, Essential Oils

 

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 EVOO 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).

 

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 myelin 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 and be organically grown and processed.

 

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

stores next to the Canola peanut butter.

www.maranathanutbutters.com

 

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 breads, margarines, and all manner of processed foods

including snacks and 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

Fats That Heal and Fats That Kill, by Udo Erasmus

 

 

With high temperatures, trans fatty acids are fats that are twisted,

which alter their natural " cis " shape.

 

We studied how the trans fatty acids from foods affected the

liver's mixed function oxidase enzyme system that metabolizes drugs

and environmental pollutants in the body.

 

An important finding of this latter study was that laboratory animals

fed experimental diets containing trans fatty acids have altered

activity of this enzyme system.

Before you buy your next bottle of cooking oil...

I think it's important that as many people as possible KNOW about the

origins of this product. Then, if you choose to buy it, at least you're

doing so with your eyes open.

 

RAPE IN A DIFFERENT GUISE

 

Dear Editors

 

Recently I bought a cooking oil that's new to our supermarkets, Canola

Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in " bad "

fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the

label told me surprisingly little else and I started to wonder: where

does canola oil come from?

 

Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from

sunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on the label to

enlighten me, which I thought odd. So, I did some investigating on the

Internet.

 

There are plenty of official Canola sites lauding this new " wonder " oil

with all its low-fat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find

sites that tell the less palatable details.

 

Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything

containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a

made-up word, from the words " Canada " and " oil " .

 

Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the

Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants. According

to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for

Farmers, " By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to

produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other

animals " . (This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises

of the new canola industry.)

 

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect

repellent. I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per

instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years. It

works very well; it suffocates them. Ask for it at your nursery.

 

Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic

rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an

industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema,

respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness

in animals and humans. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in

England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out.

 

Remember the " Mad Cow disease " scare, when millions of cattle in the UK

were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a

mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a

disease called " scrapie " . It was thought this was how " Mad Cow " began

and started to infiltrate the human chain.

 

What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed,

'scrapie' disappeared. We also haven't seen any further reports of " Mad

Cow " since rape oil was removed from the feed. Perhaps not

scientifically proven, but interesting all the same. US and Canadian

farmers grow genetically engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its

oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings of

Canadian and US government watchdog agencies. The canola supporting

websites say that canola is safe to use.

 

They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through

genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but " canola " instead.

Except canola means " Canadian oil " ; and the plant is still a rape plant,

albeit genetically modified. The new name provides perfect cover for

commercial interests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients

list on labels. Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil.

You'll find it in an alarming number of processed foods.

 

There's more, but to conclude: rape oil was the source of the chemical

warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs

and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civilians during

W.W.I. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during

the Gulf War.

 

Check products for ingredients. If the label says, " may contain the

following " and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because

it is the cheapest oil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to

industries involved in food processing.

 

I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using

olive oil and old-fashioned butter, from a genetically unmodified cow.

Here is more information.......... Canola oil from the rape seed,

referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for

it being marketed in the USA.

 

The Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on

the (GRAS) List, " Generally Recognized As Safe " . Thus a new industry was

created. Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and

traditional diets.

 

Studies with lab animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty

degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola

oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar

tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humans were made

before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA.

 

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused

by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the

myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long

chain fatty acid oil (c22).

 

Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have

used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in an unrefined

form ( taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus).

 

My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I tested

260. I switched back to pure olive oil and it has taken 5 years to get

it down to 160. Thus began this project to find answers since most

Doctors will say that Canola oil is O.K.

 

My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5 pre-treatings

and harsh washings, the oil spot still showed. She stopped using Canola

oil, wondering what it did to our insides if it could not be removed

from cloth easily. Our Father bred birds, always checking labels to

insure there was no rape seed in their food. He said, " The birds will

eat it, but they do not live very long. " A friend, who worked for only 9

mo. as a quality control taster at an apple-chip factory where Canola

oil was used exclusively for frying, developed numerous health problems.

 

 

These included loose teeth & gum disease; numb hands and feet; swollen

arms and legs upon rising in the morning; extreme joint pain especially

in hands, cloudy vision, constipation with stools like black marbles,

hearing loss; skin tears from being bumped; lack of energy; hair loss

and heart pains. It has been five years since she has worked there and

still has some joint pain, gum disease, and numbness. A fellow worker,

about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a routine check up

and found that his blood vessels were like those of an 80 year old man.

Two employees fed the waste product to baby calves and their hair fell

out. After removing the fried apple chips from the diet their hair grew

back in.

 

My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her mom's

arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, " Oh mom " not hard

enough to hurt. My daughters arm split open like it was rotten. She

called me to ask what could have caused it. I said, " I'll bet anything

that you are using Canola oil " . Sure enough, there was a big gallon jug

in the pantry.

 

Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light industry, not

for human consumption. It contains a toxic substance. Even after the

processing to reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a penetrating

oil. We have found that it turns rancid very fast. Also it leaves a

residual rancid odor on clothing.

 

Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China found to emit cancer causing

chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj. The

Wall Street Journal June 7, 1995 pB6(W) pB6 (E) col 1(11 col in).

Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad oil. It

is not the healthy oil we thought it was. It is not fit for human

consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you. Polyunsaturated or

not, this is a bad oil.

 

Be Sure to also read this informative report written by leading health

expert Tom Valentine, Canola Oil Report.

 

Go to Ask Jeeves yourself: www.askjeeves.com/ and type in (Where does

Canola Oil come from?) and see what you come up with Frying,
