Canola Oil is an Industrial Oil Not Fit For Human
Consumption.
This article disputing the benefits or not of Canola oil has been
discredited by many sources. We do however believe that eating any
oils which are not well processed - that is by cold pressing in a highly
controlled environment to maintain the integrity of the oil and avoid
oxidations and destruction is highly important. It is also
important to note that canola is grown with the assistance of many
pesticides and other chemicals and that in itself is a questionable
process.
We only recommend the use of
oils such as virgin olive oil, and good quality coconut oil - which has
been treated in an environmentally friendly manner without the heat
treatment which destroys the health giving properties of all oils.l

DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT:
I placed this article after the soy article as they
are two of the more common foods that many nutritionally oriented
"experts" will attempt to convince of are healthier
alternatives. It just seems best to stick with olive oil as a source of
omega-9 oils that are high in mono-unsaturates. Olive oil has been around
for thousands of years and this new genetically modified canola oil for
a few years. Which do you think is best time tested in the laboratory of
human physiology? Many thanks to Brigid Kemp from British Columbia,
Canada who forwarded me the above article.
with thanks to Dr Mercola. For more
