In 1978, the industry settled on "canola," for "Canadian oil," since most of the new rapeseed at that time was grown in Canada. "Canola" also sounded like "can do" and "payola," both positive phrases in marketing lingo. However, the new name did not come into widespread use until the early 1990s.

Canola stands for CANadian Oil Low Acid.

The NIH and FDA proffered proof that Western science had shown it to cause heart problems - and forbade the use of it in the U.S.

Then the Canadians . . . . ha ha ha ha ha . . . . The Canadians, found a way to produce lubricating oil without having to remove sand and tar all of the dang time.

I wouldn't want to be evolved from Canadians.

Canola Oil - Health Hazard

Enjoy the
movie. It changed the "science".

Then, the movie changed the law.
I'm trying to figure out which side you're on, what with Lorenzo being cured with a form of canola oil.

of course.

Where does it come from?
from the seeds of a variety of Brassica napus that have been bred to contain very low levels of erucic acid.

What? Are you claiming canola oil has sand and tar in it?
And don't tell me to breath <sic>.
Nobody can make sense of your posts.

You're all over the place, with your movies, your sand, your tar and songs by Queen.
If you don't like canola oil, don't use it.

Camelina oil is far superior to Canola..(GMO, Chemically treated, Hexane extracted garbage.)
