Let me tell why I’m no fan of Canola oil.
I will use quotes from several health authorities to make the point.
“Originally, rapeseed oil may not have had so many negative health effects. But for two main reasons, most canola oil today can be very harmful to your body:
-- Over 90 percent of canola oil is genetically modified.
-- Canola oil is a refined oil that’s often partially hydrogenated to increase its stability, but this increases its negative health effects.” [Source: Dr Josh Axe’s Stop Using Canola Oil Immediately! 6 Canola Oil Dangers]“…untold dangers to your health” [Source: Dr. Mercola’s Canola Oil: When a Great Oil Isn’t So Great After All…]
“In addition to the genetic modification, the process of making Canola oil is troubling. The procedure involves a combination of high-temperature mechanical pressing and solvent extract, usually using hexane. Hexane! Even after considerable refining, traces of the solvent remain. Like most vegetable oils, Canola oil also goes through the process of bleaching, degumming, deodorizing, and caustic refining, at very high temperatures. This process can alter the omega-3 content in the oil, and in certain conditions bring the trans fat level as high as 40 percent.” [Source: NaturalNews.com’s Canola Oil: There is the Good, the Bad and the Ugly]
“Conventional canola oil (which is what most people are consuming) is low in nutrients, high in oxidized omega-6 fats, high in trans fats and the omega-3s happen to be in an inefficient form. Overall, canola oil is not as bad as other vegetable oils (like soybean oil), but it is still far from being healthy. You would do much better eating olive oil or coconut oil instead.” [Source: Healthline.com’s Canola Oil: Good or Bad?]
