Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Kathleen, What do they say about Canola oil?! I will google it. My family just switched from vegetable to canola oil as one of the oils to cook with. I am so confused now. My mom is taking a 'healthy' cooking class and her teacher promotes Canola, grapeseed, and olive oil as an additive (not for cooking, she says b/c the HDL levels decrease when heated). And then they say too much soy is bad for you, so there goes 'Vegetable oil'. So, which one is the best one to use?! Aack! Please post links regarding this. -Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I suate with olive oil and butter and a little water if needed. I have always done this and always will. I will use peanut oil now and then. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " Jo-Ann Murphy " <jo-ann Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:49:23 To: RE: Kathleen Re: Canola Oil Canola oil is not a very healthy oil. It must be very highly processed in order to obtain the oil. Canola is also derived from a specially bred rapeseed plant. Rapeseed oil is toxic. So this is not a plant that grows naturally in nature. It had to be specially developed in order to be safe. For all of those reasons, I will not use it for anything. Who promotes it as " healthy " ? The commercial interests making money from promoting and selling it. Olive oil is the least processed because the olives just drip with oil.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is what I have heard. Also, there is no such thing as canola that is not GMO..so for that alone, it's not a good thing Kathleen VA - Jo-Ann Murphy Friday, February 29, 2008 11:49 AM RE: Kathleen Re: Canola Oil Canola oil is not a very healthy oil.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello Robyn, what said about canola oil is true according to the books of several scientists (M.D.) that I read. Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. wrote an excellent book " Health and nutrition secrets that can save your life " where among other valid points he discusses the role of fats in health. Besides repeating what you just heard about canola oil, he refers to all so called N-6 (omega-6) oils (corn,canola,peanut,sunfolwer,sufflower and soybean) as bad fats and N-9 (olive oil) and N-3 (fish oil, flax oil, hemp oil) as good fats. Hemp oil, as am example, has nature's ideal ratio of N-6 to N-3 oils: 3 to 1. " The typical western diet is severely deficient with N-3 oils and heavily laden with N-6 oils. ..It has been estimated that we consume fifty times more N-6 fats than are necessary for good health " ...further he describes the effect to your body on the cell level, from skin cells to brain cells. Dr Blaylock is a neurosurgeon who during his long practice got interested, researched and demonstrated the link between food additives and certain food components and degenerative diseases. his websire is www.russellblaylockmd.com and I recommend anyone concerned about healthy living and eating to read his books and enlighten themselves on things your family doctor or lady in the cooking class won't necessarily tell you. Hope this helps a little bit, Olga ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
