Canola Oil Anyone HOAX!!

[Guest guest]

This is a hoax, check out snopes.com. Some of this sound familiar

below?

 

Before you buy your next bottle of cooking oil . . .

 

I think it's important that as many people as possible KNOW about the

origins of this product. Then, if you choose to buy it, at least you're

doing so with your eyes open.

 

RAPE IN A DIFFERENT GUISE

 

Dear Editors

 

Recently I bought a cooking oil that's new to our supermarkets, Canola

Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in " bad "

fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the

label told me surprisingly little else and I started to wonder: where

does canola oil come from? Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from

peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There was

nothing on the label to enlighten me, which I thought odd. So, I did

some investigating on the Internet.

 

There are plenty of official Canola sites lauding this new " wonder " oil

with all its low-fat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find

sites that tell the less palatable details.

 

Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything

containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a

made-up word, from the words " Canada " and " oil " . Canola is a genetically

engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is

part of the mustard family of plants. According to AgriAlternatives, The

Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, " By nature,

these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for

industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals " . (This,

by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canola

industry.)

 

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect

repellent. I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per

instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years. It

works very well; it suffocates them. Ask for it at your nursery. Rape is

an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base

and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an industrial

oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory

distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals

and humans.

 

Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between

1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the " Mad Cow disease "

scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of

infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material

from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called " scrapie " . It

was thought this was how " Mad Cow " began and started to infiltrate the

human chain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from

animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared.

 

We also haven't seen any further reports of " Mad Cow " since rape oil was

removed from the feed. Perhaps not scientifically proven, but

interesting all the same. US and Canadian farmers grow genetically

engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands

of processed foods, with the blessings of Canadian and US government

watchdog agencies. The canola supporting websites say that canola is

safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist

that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but " canola "

instead.

 

Except canola means " Canadian oil " ; and the plant is still a rape plant,

albeit genetically modified. The new name provides perfect cover for

commercial interests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients

list on labels. Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil.

You'll find it in an alarming number of processed foods. There's more,

but to conclude: rape oil was the source of the chemical warfare agent

mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs and skins of

hundred of thousands of soldiers and civilians during W.W.I. Recent

French reports indicate that it was again in use during the Gulf War.

 

Check products for ingredients. If the label says, " may contain the

following " and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because

it is the cheapest oil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to

industries involved in food processing.

 

I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using

olive oil and old-fashioned butter, from a genetically unmodified cow.

 

Here is more information....

 

Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because

Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA. The

Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on

the (GRAS) List, " Generally Recognized As Safe " . Thus a new industry was

created. Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and

traditional diets. Studies with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats

developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid

gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits

dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on

humans were made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the

USA.

 

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused

by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the

myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long

chain fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that

the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect,

however it was in an unrefined form (taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS

THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus).

 

My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I tested

260. I switched back to pure olive oil and it has taken 5 years to get

it down to 160. Thus began this project to find answers since most

Doctors will say that Canola oil is O.K.

 

My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5 pre-treatings

and harsh washings, the oil spot still showed. She stopped using Canola

oil, wondering what it did to our insides if it could not be removed

from cloth easily.

 

Our Father bred birds, always checking labels to insure there was no

rape seed in their food. He said, " The birds will eat it, but they do

not live very long. "

 

A friend, who worked for only 9 mo. as a quality control taster at an

apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying,

developed numerous health problems. These included loose teeth & gum

disease; numb hands and feet; swollen arms and legs upon rising in the

morning; extreme joint pain especially in hands, cloudy vision,

constipation with stools like black marbles, hearing loss; skin tears

from being bumped; lack of energy; hair loss and heart pains. It has

been five years since she has worked there and still has some joint

pain, gum disease, and numbness.

 

A fellow worker, about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a

routine check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an

80 year old man. Two employees fed the waste product to baby calves and

their hair fell out. After removing the fried apple chips from the diet

their hair grew back in.

 

My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her mom's

arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, " Oh mom " not hard

enough to hurt. My daughters arm split open like it was rotten. She

called me to ask what could have caused it. I said, " I'll bet anything

that you are using Canola oil " . Sure enough, there was a big gallon jug

in the pantry.

 

Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light industry, not

for human consumption. It contains a toxic substance. Even after the

processing to reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a penetrating

oil. We have found that it turns rancid very fast. Also it leaves a

residual rancid odor on clothing.

 

Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China found to emit cancer causing

chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj. The

Wall Street JournaL June 7, 1995 pB6(W) pB6 (E) col 1 (11 col in).

Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad oil. It

is not the healthy oil we thought it was. It is not fit for human

consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you. Polyunsaturated or

not, this is a bad oil.

 

Be Sure to also read this informative report written by leading health

expert Tom Valentine, Canola Oil Report.

Well, thanks for letting me know! Although I've heard negs about

canola long before seeing this article and I don't always put a lot of

merit in Snopes, I'll take the article with a grain of salt.

 

Thanks!

But when you can pull up different information on canola and not a lot of

good and then the UK information.....I don't use it for cooking or soap.

Just because snopes said it doesn't make it true. I had rather be safe than

sorry.

I trust Snopes when it comes to

viruses or missing children, but NOT

when it comes to the safety of my food

or personal care products.

They are very mainstream in that regard

and think Aspartame is fine.
