Is rapeseed oil legal? What Elaine said was " First off, canola is not illegal. However, canola has been developed from rapeseed (could be a hybrid or maybe even genetically manipulated). What's wrong with rapeseed? It contains two toxic compounds which are bred out of it. However, there have been cases where, because of weather changes, etc., the plant reverts back to rapeseed and has caused death in those consuming it. It has not happened often but we figure there are many other oils without that kind of history, so why play around with it? " I'm not sure what research Elaine had which made her wary of canola; I only know that she felt there were possibly better oils that we could use. I suspect her caution with rapeseed oil stems from the fact that it MAY contain toxic compounds (even if used for cooking in some areas) and people with gut issues are often hyper-sensitive to these things. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
