If you're not reading #ingredientlists and avoiding this shit you deserve to be sick!
#Rapeseed oil was originally used in light industry as a #penetratingoil, not for human consumption. The #FDA had actually banned it for human consumption in 1956. Later Canadian growers using #geneticmanipulation involving seed splitting (R.K. Downey, Genetic Control of Fatty Acid #Biosnythesis in Rapeseed. Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society, 1964), came up with new type of rapeseed in the 1970’s that was lower in the toxic #erucicacid. A new name was developed for the oil to try and get away from the bad issues tied to rapeseed oil, #canolaoil.
Rapeseed, the most #toxic of all food plants suddenly through genetic manipulation was made safe? The poisonous weed has been shown to cause #emphysema, #respiratorydistress, #anemia, #constipation, #irritability, and #blindness in both animals and humans, is suddenly safe?
Many of these highly processed cooking oils such as canola oil, #cottonseedoil, and #vegetableoil, are processed with many steps involving #chemicalsolvents, #dewaxers, #neutralizers, steamers, bleachers and deodorizers before they make it to the store shelves.
Pay attention to how many times they tell you by-products of the canola oil process are sold as #animalfeed.
The #solvent is #hexane a byproduct of gasoline production is used to extract the last 40%of the oil left over after the screw pressure extracting.
Hexane is a #neurotoxin and it has been found that #hexaneresidue will remain in the oil.
Another fact is the FDA does not require the food manufactures to test for residues. What harm this neuotoxin does when ingesting it is not known since most testing is done on the inhalation of hexane in industrial environments.
Canola oil is said to have healthy properties because of its high concentration of #omega3s. ONLY problem is the heat and pressure of manufacturing causes the omega 3s to go #rancid. Now the oil has to be deodorized, “I mean it smells, really, really, really bad!” The deodorizing process causes these rancid omega 3s to transform into #transfats. Yes, the bad for you trans-fats we are warned cause #heartdisease.
