The process in itself leads to me to want to severely limit my intake of Canola Oil.
Here are some reasons to rethink your use of Canola Oil:
1) Canola Oil Is A Genetically Modified Product. In fact, over 90% of rapeseed, which is used to make Canola Oil, is genetically modified. T
2) Canola Oil produces a chemical called erucic acid, which is poisonous to humans. Some say it is such a small amount as to not warrant any concern while others say is can cause heart failure and cancer.
3) Canola Oil Is highly inflammatory. Canola Oil can oxidize easily, making it very unstable, releasing free radicals to cause havoc in our bodies.
4) Canola Oil may contain “hexane residue”, a volatile solvent. The above video shows the intense process that is used to make Canola Oil — from refining, bleaching and degumming — all using chemicals. Yuck!
5) Canola Oil consumption may affect your brain and weight management.
Leading natural health expert, Dr. Mercola, quotes a study that shows that the ratio of fats in Canola Oil – he called them damaged Omega 6 fatty acids, can lead to weight issues and dementia.
In contrast, the process for producing Olive Oils is so much cleaner. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, in particular, is made from the olive. It is cold-pressed, which means no chemicals are used, and only the juice of the olive is consumed.

We are lucky we have the ability to choose what goes into our bodies. A little education and attention can make a difference in our daily lives.
Olive oil is clean, healthy and can be used for everything – eat as much as you like and Cheers to your good health!
Ciao for now,
