Comments on: Is Canola Oil Healthy? http://editor.nourishedmagazine.com.au/articles/is-canola-oil-healthy When we got married the registry wouldn't let me put Super Hero as my occupation, they put Home Duties on our marriage certificate instead. But I AM a Super Hero and my Super Hero name is...... The Nourisher.

It's been a slow process, first ghee, then butter, then coconut oil (fantastic for pan fried chips!), now duck and pig fats and drippings rendered down. Growing up in the 1970's in Australia and the first "margarine" generation of my family. I have vague memories of a drippings container in the back of my mum's fridge as a very young child, of course she never fed it to us....:(. Food now tastes better than it ever has in my life! But my mum always had real butter for baking, and it was this that I ate by the slab when no one was looking in my adolescence (I now know why) and my sister who did not but stuck to the margarine is infertile and has suffered lifelong from an eating disorder. Hmmmmm. Love this list! Thanks Joanne! It’s taken me 8 years now to get my head around using sat fat in my

I like rice bran oil for many reasons. I called the company and got a good explanation on the process and they even sent me a lab report. Rice Oil is very nutritious and I like cooking at high tem[eratures so it works for me. I feel like I have enough info on rice oil and I will continue to use it. I starting all this when canola oil was discussed as being not a good choice. I agree and I don't like the flavor of canola so I would never use it again.

You also have several other typos including missing periods and inconsistent capitalization of this "CONola" word. Grammatical errors like this cause you and your blog to lose credibility.

I have read so much about it that I am convinced that it is the healthiest oil available. I switched 2 years ago and my cholesterol levels have greatly decreased. Plus, it has more antioxidants and vitamin E than most oils. I have never liked the strange taste of canola and olive oil is too strong for me. I personally only use rice bran oil.

But Joanne your article is total bullshit, abstract information out of context, and some of it just totally untrue. Yes it was derived from rapeseed, and yes there are some health concerns including high blood pressure, but this is with excessive intake. Versions of Canola were later genetically modified, but it wasn't created by genetic modification. The name came from CANada and LO Acid, but everything new needs a new name from somewhere. Get your facts right before righting articles Joanne. And people reading, find your self I more reliable source to get your information from. I’m not here to sing the praises of Canola.

I think that this subject is similar to so many issues out there now. There is evidence that Canola and Cottonseed oils are contributors to health issues. It's hard to pinpoint many times when someone is a victim of a heartache what the cause is. It may be the cigarettes, genetics, the diet, the lack of exercise. It's probably all three. I find it disturbing when someone would chose to ignore evidence and say 'prove it and then I'll listen'. Where did common sense go? Where did simplicity and reason go? Instead of listening to our bodies, and to the facts from unbiased research we wait until it is set in stone. Which is usually too late. I completely agree with you Louise. I know that it may be viewed as traditional, or not wanting to keep with the times, but I believe in simplicity in our diets and in our lives. However, one must be at a place where they are ready to embrace that in order to see and accept it's benefits. What an interesting article and debate.

The Journal of Nutrition has an interesting article about Canola - it reduces the lifespan of rats by 8%, and that of their offspring by 20%!

Sure, go ahead and eat whatever you like, that's your choice. I wouldn't think it is a laughing matter though. Sure you might outlive me, but I will live my life to the full until I die. You on the other hand face the possibility of spending the last years of your life having no quality of life, waiting for impending heart attack, stroke... living in fear or agony.. but, thats your choice. The proof is out there, you just need to understand it. Incidentally, i don't remember hearing about coconuts being sprayed. What about Cod fish? ahhh nuh.. I don't think they have srayed either. Mercury I hear you say? Nope.. http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/codliveroil.html I have been taking both for 6 months or more now. I have never felt more energetic and found it so easy to keep my weight at an optimum level. I have less muscle soreness after a workout and cycling. No offense to you Mark either... get your head out of the sand, this information has been published in many places. The marketing machines of the big corporates keep it buried... for now!

I am frustrated by the fact we have been conned and deliberately misinformed about saturated fats. Your Heart will stop without a supply of saturated fat!Linoleic acid present in Canola and other veg oils (small amount in Palm) is used as an Imunosupressor in transplant patients to aviod rejection, but if given in too high strength causes cancer! Why is there an epidemic of breast cancer? MODERN OIL HABBITS , why is there not an investigation into this? Too much money at steak!Why , if saturated fat is so bad for you do hospitals feed it intraveniously to unconcious people to keep them nourished? Why do mothers feed babies monolauric acid derived from saturated fats in breast milk! Coconut oil contains the next richest source of Lauric acid after Mothers milk! Saturated fat carries coenzyme Q10 to your heart and other vital organs to energise cells , in turn coenzyme Q10 stops Cholesterol going rancid!Coconut oil contains no cholesterol however One third of your brain is cholesterol, so why starve your brain of a cholesterol containing diet!One half of cell walls are made of saturated fat to protect us from invasion by fat soluble viruse and bacteria. Please empower yourself and friends to research the truth about nutrition not media driven textbook nutrition which is killing innocent but ignorant people.Stay Well!
