Gerry,

I read somewhere that canola oil was developed to lubricate motorized parts and

that while it doesn't have cholesterol that it isn't good for people. I have no

idea about soy bean oil but I use sesame seed oil occasionally for stir fry.

Do not, for one moment, get the idea I am proposing we use Canola Oil or

whatever it is. What I am doing is simply revealing what I found and again,

just looking beyond our nose sometimes shows things we did not know, which may

or may not be fact.

PS: I avoid Canola.

I read an article on the Internet that said canola oil contains toxins that are

harmful to humans. Is this true?

Answer

from Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.

Health concerns about canola oil that are being circulated on the Internet are

unfounded.

Misinformation about the safety of canola oil may stem from the fact that, years

ago, oil was produced from the rapeseed plant. Rapeseed oil contains very high

levels of erucic acid, a compound that in large amounts can be toxic to humans.

The canola plant was developed by natural crossbreeding from the rapeseed plant.

Canola oil is produced from canola plants, not rapeseed plants. Canola plants

have very low levels of erucic acid.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

In fact, canola oil is very low in saturated fat and has a very high proportion

of monounsaturated fat, so it's a healthy and safe choice when it comes to oils.

Soybean oil's unhealthy, as are the other omega 6 oils (e.g., cottonseed, corn,

safflower, sunflower).

Cold-pressed olive (and to a lesser extent peanut and sesame) are ok for

low-temperature cooking. (I think avocado and apricot-kernel oil are also fine

up to moderate temperatures.)

If you must cook high-temp., it's essential to use saturated oil

(COCONUT/palm/org. butter).

Below are writings and webpages on the harmful effects of canola oil. The

writings are inflammatory and exaggerated and contain many falsehoods but also

much truth. Canola oil's not as unhealthy as its opponents make it sound, but I

think it is quite unhealthy, and particularly unhealthy if it’s not organic,

cold-pressed, and when heated to even moderate temperatures. I wouldn't worry

about the small amounts of it in prepared foods.

" this industrial canola oil made for commercial deep fat frying [was] 27

percent…trans fats. Which is why it worked for the deep fryer. During the

processing of this oil, most of the PUFA had been converted to trans

fats....[another brand of] canola oil had...a couple of grams of trans fats per

100 grams of oil....virtually all canola oil contains some trans fats that arise

during the deodorization process. (Canola oil smells wretched in its native

state and requires deodorization to be palatable.) Canola oil contains a fair

amount of omega-6 fats, so I avoid it when possible for that reason " R.
