UNHEALTHY CANOLA OIL. AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE

Too many reasons why Canola Oil is bad for you

A few other reasons,

Many people claim that canola oil is bad for you because it is made from GMO crops and is highly refined. There is some scientific evidence that canola oil is bad for your health because an increased intake of canola oil is linked to inflammation, heart disease, impaired memory function, and stroke.

Pure rapeseed oil isn’t suitable for consumption as it contains high amounts of toxic compounds called erucic acid and glucosinolates. So, scientists in Canada developed an edible version of the rapeseed plant. This plant was called canola and its name comes from “Canada” and “ola” meaning oil. The oil from the rapeseed plant is low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. (1)

The oil from the remaining canola meal is extracted using a solvent called hexane.

Researchers found that the refining process removes most of the vitamin E and the carotenoids (plant pigments) from the oil. During the refining process trans fats can develop in the canola oil. Trans fats have been linked to various chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Just to name a few.
