According to Natural News, canola oil
can have detrimental effects on your health, especially the genetically
modified (GM) canola that Monsanto manufactures for the masses to consume. The
omega-3 fatty acids of processed canola oil are transformed during the
deodorizing process into trans fatty acids. The reason why canola is
particularly unsuitable for consumption is that it contains a very-long-chain
fatty acid called erucic acid, which under some circumstances is associated
with fibrotic heart lesions.
A biochemist would tell you that
canola oil has higher levels of trans fatty acids than soybean oil and other
toxic GMO "hybrid" oils that the masses use on a regular basis. This
would include the hydrogenated vegetable oils cottonseed, safflower and corn.

Scores of scientists have
condemned a journal editor's retraction of a study that reported a number of
serious side effects in lab rats that consumed Monsanto's genetically modified
maize and Roundup herbicide.
According to a press release by a
group called “End Science Censorship,” the number of scientists decrying the
retraction has climbed to 150. The group said the editor of the Elsevier
journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, Dr. A. Wallace Hayes, claimed that
the retraction of a study conducted by a team headed by Prof. Gilles-Eric
Seralini was due to some "inconclusive" findings. But that rationale
has been roundly criticized by scientists who point out that many studies
contain findings that are not at all conclusive.
What is also noteworthy, they
point out, is that the retraction comes just a few months after the arrival of
a former Monsanto scientist on the editorial board of the scientific journal.
"It is a criminal
attitude," said Dr. Mohamed Habib, a professor of entomology at the
University of Campinas, Brazil, who has signed a petition opposing the
retraction.
"Truth and ethical values
have to be considered as more important than money. The article must be
reinstated," he said, adding that the retraction appeared to indicate that
powerful economic interests influenced the journal's decision.

Like most highly refined oils,
canola oil is low in essential nutrients. However, it does contain a little bit
of the fat soluble vitamins E and K.
A typical fatty acid composition
of canola oil is:
·
Saturated: 7%.
·
Monounsaturated: 63%.
·
Polyunsaturated: 28% (with omega-6 and omega-3
in a 2:1 ratio).
Keep in mind that the exact
figures and ratios can vary between different batches.
According to conventional wisdom,
saturated fat is bad and unsaturated fats are good, so according to that, the
fatty acid composition is pretty much perfect.
Although saturated fat has been
considered harmful in the past, several recent studies have shown that it
really has nothing to do with heart disease. Therefore, the low saturated fat
content of canola oil is completely irrelevant, although it does allow for some
excellent marketing slogans.
