Re: Canola oil


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.
