Looks like another powerful reason not to cook with canola or soybean

oils.

not at those very high temperatures: "240 degrees C to 280 degrees C" which is 464 to 536 Fahrenheit. Canola will start to smoke at 350F. No cooking oil should be heated to the smoking point.

This study:

shows mutagenic emmissions at 300C in soybean oil, but apparently not at 200C (392F).

Ironically, "...hydrogenated rapeseed oil were not mutagenic ":

Hi Ken:

Interesting. Thanks. As I understand it the reason they made the

(possible) connection was because of the huge lung cancer rate among

chinese women that could not be accounted for by the amount of

tobacco they smoked. Anyway, caution with these oils is certainly

warranted, whatever the causative mechanism. Especially when other

oils seem not to present the same problem.
