Good Morning, yuz guys.

Canola oil is the rebranding of Rapeseed oil because rapeseed is the truth. No matter what kind of mindless nonsense you've read about the nutritional benefits of this ubiquitous product. It's wasn't in commercial food 30 years ago. Barely could it be found in foods 20 years ago. Now it's in almost everything. Why?

Why did this industrial lubricant become a food product? Because Fiat currency creates inflation and a cheap ingredient was implemented to cut costs and bring to the market place products that looked like the products you were accustomed to buying.

Hummus, peanut butter, desserts, potato chips, tortilla chips, tortillas, pesto, "plant based" faux meats, and many other products contain this nasty oil. Get it out of your diet. Read the ingredients of the foods you buy. The restaurant you are getting your fried food from also is using canola oil.

Pay attention to what you are eating and you can tell the pharmaceutical prescribers to pack sand. Start today to read the ingredients. Look at your nutrition bars, look at baby formula or mature adult "nutrition" drinks. It's time to wake up to the fact that you are in a process of slow kill.

Yes, your body will die one day but you don't have to put poison in it to expedite the process.

For anyone who wants to argue about this product. I've been reading the labels of foods since 1986 and I know it wasn't in the foods that we were eating until the last 20 years. In the last 10 years it has become rampant.

Find me on NOSTR. Zap me if you like this.

funny how i tell people to look at the ingredients, and they immediately look at the Calorie count (which is bolded, enlarged, and at the top of the nutrition facts) or Protein. some people look at the sugar content as well. very few actually look at the ingredients and when they do read, they don't know what they're seeing, as it's written in chemicalese.

I haven't thought about it like this but you are right. The bold letters and the arrangement are like a material data safety sheet. The quick glance and the mind says, "Nothing Bad Here!"

Or like Gatorade in Idiocracy, "It's got electrolytes." So it must be good for watering plants, too.

I didn't know anything about this oil, but now I'm going to research more about it to know what foods have it, thank you.

It's a big cash crop so you will see information that is very positive. The main thing to remember is that no one was using it for food in the United States 30 years ago. At least commercially it was not used.

My wife is from Uzbekistan a big cotton exporter. She told me that they cooked with cotton seed oil and probably still do. Rapeseed has to be chemically changed in order to become "Canola" oil.

I've noticed imports from the former Soviet Union that are in the Russian / Ukraine stores here in the US. Have sardines or sprats in Rapeseed oil. Specifically it is listed as an ingredient. The sprats did not have this 15 years ago.

Sardines in most grocery stores have olive oil (good), canola (bad), and water.

Definitely do some deep investigation. Don't be fooled by the big commercial health websites.

Thank you very much again for this valuable information, I live in Spain and I suppose that this "ingredient" has also arrived here, I sometimes buy preserves such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and others, so it is quite important for me to investigate.

I was in Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and Madrid in September. I tried to look at the ingredients. I think the sardines are mostly packed in Olive Oils. But I was not eating these, myself. I bought them for my wife and the ingredients looked fine. Cheaper imports might have Rapeseed or Canola. You definitely want to look out for this.

The Eurozone has some stricter rules for food and ingredients that the United States does not follow.

By no means an I an expert. Just empirical observation. I do know that the sprats from Latvia that have shown up in Russian stores here have Rapeseed specifically listed as an ingredient.
