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. Safflower, Sunflower and Coconut oils are much better.

Despite what the MEDIA says about CANOLA OIL, it STILL comes from a member
of the mustard family. Mustard oils are NOT known for their health benefits.
White mustard was used in the infamous chemical warfare agent - MUSTARD GAS - banned after blistering the lungs and skin of thousands of soldiers and civilians
during World War I. French research reports indicated that it was used in
recent years - again - during the GULF WAR.
Was it? I don't know.
I DO know that when it comes to putting something into our food supply, that gets
rid of an industrial by-product, and makes THE OLYMPIANS wealthier than they
already are,we are fed a lot of fabrications and pelted with prevarications.
So...all I really have to say, is...
THINK!
USE THAT WONDERFUL BRAIN GOD GAVE YOU,
AND CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING...
Coconut oil has been used for thousands of years,
with NO ILL EFFECTS, whatsovever.
Olive Oil has been used for thousands of years,
with NO ILL EFFECTS, whatsoever.
Sesame Oil has been used for thousands of years,
with NO ILL EFFECTS, whatsoever.
They can ALL be easily obtained, TRULY cold-pressed,
and they are healthy, viable oils. Why don't you read about
THEIR health benefits? It's your body, after all...
