Canola oil:
Can anyone tell me what this
is?
I wonder if it's something quite common, such as rape-seed
oil or flax-oil or soya oil.... (?)
It is marketed from Canada & apparently
edible!
Thanks.

"Apparently" edible, is
correct.
Canola was one of the first GE/GM crops - but I don't know if the
Canadian product is one of the altered ones.
While it is "apparently" edible, there has been
some controversy
on another e-mail list about its effects on people who are
sensitive
to pollution - why that should be, neither the persons involved nor
I
have any idea.
I am sorry, but I do not recall on which of several
e-mail lists that it
came up for discussion - but another aspect
was how it was
processed. There are apparently two methods, one of which
involves some type of heat, and the "sensitized"
person said that
the non-heat method was preferable even though she could not
use the product.
