According to Natural News, the real
problem with the name "rapeseed oil" was that the oil was so toxic
that the FDA banned it for human consumption in 1956. So when Canadian growers
bred a new variety of rapeseed in the 1970s with a lower content of the toxic
erucic acid, they decided that they needed a new name for it.
The term canola was coined from
"Canadian oil, low acid" to convince consumers that this oil was safe
to eat. And while "canola" was originally a registered trademark, the
term became so widely known that the trademark was eventually abandoned, and canola
became the default term in many countries for any low-erucic rapeseed oil.
Canola oil is a very effective
insecticide, and it is the primary ingredient in many "organic"
(non-chemical) pesticide control products sprayed on vegetables to kill bugs.

Canola oil can have detrimental
effects on your health, especially the genetically modified (GM) canola that
Monsanto so conveniently manufacturers for the masses to consume. It's all
mixed into those fancy, condiment-loaded, creamy salads at the friendly grocer,
and it's FRESH! Step right up to the fresh bar! Add in some tasty conventional
spices and keep it hot or cold in those little bins for those "whole"
food enthusiasts. Lots of people pack a few of the canola "mixtures"
into plastic (BPA) containers and take them home.

As much as 50 percent of the
olive oil sold in the U.S.
is not actually pure olive oil, as some brands claiming to be
"extra-virgin" or "100 percent Italian," for instance, have
actually been adulterated with toxic rapeseed oil, more popularly known as
canola oil, along with soybean oil and other low-grade oils. In his new book, Extra
Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, olive oil expert
Tom Mueller explains that not all olive oil is the same and offers advice on
how to spot authentic olive oil amidst all the imposters.
During a recent interview with
Terry Gross from National Public Radio's Fresh Air, Mueller explains how
olive oil adulteration is much more widespread than people think, if they are
even aware of it at all. For olive oil to truly be considered
"extra-virgin," it has to come from fresh, crushed olives and not be
refined in any way or contain any chemical solvents. It also has to pass
certain tests of integrity in order to be considered legitimate. Many of the
brands popularly sold today would fail.
"The legal definition simply
says it has to pass certain chemical tests, and in a sensory way it has to
taste and smell vaguely of fresh olives, because it's a fruit, and have no
faults," said Mueller. "But many of the extra-virgin olive oils on
our shelves today in America
don't clear [the legal definition]."
