Yes, but to blame all those problems on poor ol' canola oil, is a bit unfair. Check out all the recipes on Dr. Weil's web site that use canola oil (although he is now suggesting that one use expeller pressed canola oil vs. your usual grocery store shelf variety). Did I tell you I own stock in a canola oil company? (just kidding - ho,ho!) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 This is a myth, and I'm citing references here. I didn't write this article, but it's concise and straightforward: From AFU, Urban Legends Origins:  What we have here is a bit of truth about a product's family history worked into a hysterical screed against the product itself. There is no earthly reason to give any credence to this rumor -- Canola oil is not the horrifying product this widely-disseminated e-mail makes it out to be, nor has the FDA turned loose on the American public a health scourge worthy of being named one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. An appreciation of what this scare is based upon begins with a better understanding of what canola oil and how it came into being. The rape plant (Brassica napus) is a member of the mustard family, as claimed in the e-mail. However, before associations between rape and mustard gas set in too strongly, it should be noted turnip, cabbage, watercress, horseradish, and radish are also members of this family of plants. Rapeseed oil has been used for cooking for centuries in Europe, India, China, and Japan. As modern science is finding out, its previous use wasn't necessarily a guarantee of safety. Cooking at high temperatures with unrefined rapeseed oil now appears to be related to an increased risk of lung cancer because at high temperatures cooking oil gives off chemicals capable of causing mutations in cells. Unrefined rapeseed oil is particularly notable for this, but other oils also have this association. Those intent upon doing large amounts of wok cooking with any sort of cooking oil should therefore lower their frying temperature from the 240°C to 280°C called for in Chinese cooking to 180°C. Rapeseed oil naturally contains a high percentage (30-60%) of erucic acid, a substance associated with heart lesions in laboratory animals. For this reason rapeseed oil was not used for consumption in the United States prior to 1974, although it was used in other countries. (Americans chose to use it as a lubricant to maintain Allied naval and merchant ships during World War II.) In 1974, rapeseed varieties with a low erucic content were introduced. Scientists had found a way to replace almost all of rapeseed's erucic acid with oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid. (This change was accomplished through the cross-breeding of plants, not by the techniques commonly referred to as " genetic engineering. " ) By 1978, all Canadian rapeseed produced for food use contained less than 2% erucic acid. The Canadian seed oil industry rechristened the product " canola oil " (Canadian oil) in 1978 in an attempt to distance the product from negative associations with the word " rape. " Canola was introduced to American consumers in 1986. By 1990, erucic acid levels in canola oil ranged from 0.5% to 1.0%, in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. This light, tasteless oil's popularity is due to the structure of its fats. It is lower in saturated fat (about 6%) than any other oil. Compare this to the high saturated fat content of peanut oil (about 18%) and palm oil (at an incredibly high 79%). It also contains more cholesterol-balancing monounsaturated fat than any oil except olive oil and has the distinction of containing Omega-3 fatty acids, a polyunsaturated fat reputed to not only lower both cholesterol and triglycerides, but also to contribute to brain growth and development. In other words, it's a healthy oil. One shouldn't feel afraid to use it because of some Internet scare loosely based on half-truths and outright lies.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I've done some research on Canola Oil because we use it, alot. My son is pretty limited in what oils he tolerates (allergic to soy, olive, grapeseed, walnut etc....). I found that canola oil is made from the rapeseed plant, and yes if it is not Expeller Pressed is potentially toxic. The toxins are produced in how the oil is made. Spectrum has information out on it. After my research, I felt like Expeller Pressed Organic Canola Oil was safe. JL [ ] Canola Oil >What's the problem with canola oil? Basically it's poison....a good insecticide..junk...a scam against the American public who believes all the Advertising put out into the media...have you ever heard of a canola plant...none exists... !!!!!

Kris Kris, You may want to read the transition section of the WAPF website for a comprehensive look at the healthy choices you can make nutritionally. Then you can decide for yourself which aspects of a traditional lifestyle you want to implement first. http://www.westonaprice.org/transition/index.html This website has a search tool, so you can see what they say on canola oil yourself. It is also discussed in the NT book on page 19. Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Interesting Heidi, thanks! Kris >Kris Since we stopped eating it, we stopped getting sun problems. I used to break out in hives when I got in the sun, and burned easily. No one has burned in the last 2 years! I was reading a site about feeding goats and they mentioned that if your goats eat canola plants, you have to keep them out of the sun, because it makes them sun sensitive! Coconut oil, IMO, seems to have the opposite effect. I've also found that when I eat canola now, I get a slight asthma thing going, it's hard to breathe. Breathing issues have been linked to canola also. It is true that the modern oils have low levels of erucic acid, but it can vary from batch to batch, and how would you know?

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I remember reading that canola is one of the few oils that is safe at high temperatures. I use it when I want to make fries or something because good oils, like olive for example, aren't good for us at high temperatures. I don't have the source here now, but I'm pretty sure that's what I read. My son doesn't seem to have a problem with it, although he gets in only once or twice a week.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I too have read that Canola oil is not necessarily a good thing. It is made of rapeseed. The oil originates from Canada and hence the name. Nothing outstanding about it. But I've read nothing but good things about pure, natural olive oil. By far it sounds like the one with the highest nutritional value. But I haven't read anything about it not being good on high temperatures. I cook and bake everything in olive oil and have a total peace of mind about it. Run a search and you'll find nothing credible about olive oil being counterindicated for autism or anything else for that matter. Use the light version if you're crazy about the taste.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I have to agree somewhat with Beti on the canola oil issue. There are a number of oils I would prefer over canola but where I divert, is with olive oil. There are instances where olive oil, regardless of its purity, may present a problem for children (and adults). Two weeks ago I would not have been able to say that, today I can because of a test I did on my daughter Tasya, who has a seizure disorder. We ran a test called LEAP from Signet Diagnostics, through my company and lo and behold a food she was highly sensitive to was olives which included olive oil. This test is not one for food allergies, but for food sensitivities (123 foods and 27 food additives). It looks for the release of a series of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, cytokeines, leukotrienes and more. The results have been remarkable in helping us control her seizure activity. In the little time she's been on the diet prescribed, she has been remarkably seizure free. When we've slipped up (using olive oil to cook yesterday), she had a nocturnal seizure. I posted her results on my website if anyone is interested. http://www.carbonbased.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=90 Mark Schauss [ ] Re: canola oil I too have read that Canola oil is not necessarily a good thing.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I have heard some really unflattering things about canola oil as well. Shirley's Wellness Cafe had something about it. Good site, sometimes hard to find just what you are looking for though. Mercola might have info as well. Other things to think about with oil is how it is pressed. What is generally in the grocery stores has been chemically processed. You should consider cold expeller (sp?) pressed. All the health food stores have that. I use grapeseed oil. It is mild, no taste and is good for all uses. I have put it in mixes to be baked and sauteed with it. No complaints at all. We also use olive and coconut. No canola or anything else here.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 It was a long time ago I saw on TV a news story about a disorder where children do better on a high fat diet. I forget what disorder they had. I think it was seizures. The diet had to be followed strictly and be of a certain balance with each meal. And after about 2 years the child was healed of the disorder. The other child still had to stay on the diet. So it wasn't determined that it is a cure to fix this problem. It makes you wonder if saturated fat diet helps other children with other problems, what is involved with the body's process?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Liz, About 14 months ago, I wondered the same thing and started investigating. Since that time, I've made a major change in how we all eat. We always ate " healthy " - very little processed food (including supposedly healthy organic crackers, cereals, etc., ala Whole Food style), etc. Then I started digging into how vital the right type of fat is to the brain/neurological systems of our body, especially for my son, and I threw out the canola, corn, soy, safflower, peanut, ad nauseum, and any number of other supposedly " healthy " oils. We had never eaten margarine or shortening (hydrogenated trans fats), so we simply continued with our butter, olive oil, flax seed oil, and added good quality coconut oil and red palm oil to our diet. We switched meat from grain-fed to grass-fed because of research showing that the corn/soy grain mixture perverts the Omega6:Omega3 ratios in the animal meat/fat, giving us the wrong ratio. The ideal ratio is anywhere from 2:1 or 4:1 depending on what you read. Corn/soy ratios are 60:1. We switched from " organic " grocery store eggs to finding a local farm that had farm fresh truly free-range layers who got to eat all the good stuff chickens are supposed to eat (bugs, worms, etc.), again, staying away from grain-fed poultry of any type (especially meat poultry as they have been shown to have high levels of arsenic from arsenic put into their grain in order to kill parasites). Milk - we didn't drop it but again switched to non-pasteurized, non-homogenized fresh-off-the-farm grass-fed milk. Same thing as with meat/dairy - grass-fed provides all the essential vitamins, minerals, and proper fat ratios. Oh, and I got rid of all soy that wasn't fermented which included oil, tofu, soy milk, etc. I could write pages, but won't....you can find most of everything I'm talking about in Sally Fallon's " Nourishing Traditions " cookbook/resource book. Or you can visit the http://www.westonaprice.org/index.html My son's OT's expressed some " concern " when I first mentioned the type of " diet " we were going to give him. A month after starting it, they said he made tremendous progress and " have to attribute the amazing changes to his diet because we haven't done anything differently " . The majority of them have bought Nourishing Traditions and are now lamenting diets of other children. I cannot say enough good things about eating this way...it's been wonderful for all of us.....and before I forget, another major change was the type of " grain " we ate and how it was prepared. Other cultures make a " sponge " or soak their grains, neutralizing the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors that are naturally on the grain to prevent them from germinating. If those elements aren't neutralized, they act as an anti-nutrient in our intestines, preventing minerals/vitamin absorption. In addition, over time, the intestinal wall is stripped of its natural mucous lining, etc. In our culture, all of our breads, other than artisan-style slow-rise sourdough breads, are made from wheat/grains that are ground and immediately used in recipes. There's no long slow soaking process in order for the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors to be neutralized. Anyway, after I soaked my grains, and soaked my flours (long story - 2 different processes for different purposes but easy to do), my son's hallucinations or " psychotic events " , as his doctor liked to call them, disappeared. All of this in an integrated, methodical approach, imo, plays a key role in the recovery of our children. Basically, it is a returning to a " traditional " diet, reducing/eliminating improperly prepared grains/seeds/nuts, including grass-fed meats/dairies, and changing the type of oils in our diets, ignoring the current food pyramid and mainstream medicine's ill-informed view of " healthy " food. -Sharon, NH Deut 11:14 He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat. > It makes you wonder if saturated fat diet helps other children with >other problems, what is involved with the body's process? >Liz D.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 It's interesting because a friend and myself recently visited Getoff, a naturopath and clinical nutritionist. He teaches at a local hospital, but we booked a visit with him to discuss our kids. He has several videos that discuss fats. His URL is: http://www.naturopath4you.com/index.htm The gist of it is: Coconut oil is very good and should be used for cooking Extra Virgin olive oil is good and can be used for cooking (it has to be exra virgin) Rapunzel's hazelnut, pumpkinseed, and sunflower were also very good. He recommends only using Rapunzel, omega, and Garden of Life's coconut oil. Also, he suggests that all oils you use be organic because they are so concentrated. He recommended high fat diets for our children (lots of eggs, coconut oil, nut butters, regular butter or ghee if you're trying to avoid casein, etc). I was already doing a high fat diet for my son and it was helping. My friend whose son has mild asperger's is just happy beyond words. Her son has made great progress with the high fat diet. recommended other items for her son including: Vibe, liver terrain, metal free, cod liver oil, digestive enzymes, DMG, and possibly others that I can't remember. We saw him 3rd week in August and school started 4th week in August. She can't believe how well he is doing and he has 3 friends. The teacher told her " just goes to show you how wrong people can be in their diagnosis " . She also went GF, and almost all organic. Here's the link that finally convinced her to go organic. I know it's pricey, but we've noticed incredible improvements: http://www.optimumhealthreport.com/articles/organic.asp She has a follow up in November in which they will go through homeopathic nosodes.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi, Michele IMO, the place to start is to pick up a copy of Sally Fallon's book, Nourishing Traditions. It's a cookbook. Kinda. The value isn't in the recipes, however, but in the pages and pages packed full of helpful information along the lines I've been talking about. A good website which offers similar information (probably because Sally Fallon is its president) is Weston A. Price: www.westonaprice.org <http://www.westonaprice.org/> Weston A Price, and people who follow Nourishing Traditions have " chapters " across the country. They meet monthly as a way of sharing information, recipes, and sometimes various cultures like for kefir, etc. It's a growing " movement " akin to Slow Foods. http://www.slowfoodusa.org/ I'd communicated to Dr. Huston, one of the providers of really good digestive enzymes, and when I explained the type of diet we were using (Nourishing Traditions), I was impressed with the fact that he told me to try the food first - that if I religiously followed Fallon's recommendations, I would not need his digestive enzymes. He gave me ideas of areas where I might need to supplement 'down the road' after experimenting first with the food. THAT really impressed me! My husband, who has always had major issues with digestive/intestinal tract credits kefir with his recovery. Are you familiar with kefir? I make kefir smoothies for my kids. Kefir, unlike yogurt, has numerous beneficial bacteria and yeast (not limited to a few like yogurt). We've all experienced wonderful changes in our digestive/intestinal system, including my Autistic son who NEVER had a solid bowel movement up until we started giving him " raw " goat milk and kefir. Here's what is considered to be the most informative kefir site on the net: http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html You'll need " grains " which inoculate the milk (people give them away free - I can help you find sources) - having seen what I have from my husband and son, I'd really encourage you to investigate this possibility... I get my coconut oil from: http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/ I also buy my coconut milk and cream from them. It appears to be pricey, but after having tried a number of other brands, I'd always gone back to this company. They're very hands-on, hard-working and you can talk to the owners if you have any questions. Good quality coconut oil is a tough thing to find locally. At least I've found that to be so. Most people I know buy theirs mail-order from reputable sources instead of trying to find it in stores. Stay away from Spectrum Coconut Oil. The smell, taste, and process is highly questionable, imo.
