Before LEAR oil could be promoted as a healthy alternative to polyunsaturated oils, it needed a new name. Neither "rape" nor "lear" could be expected to invoke a healthy image for the new "Cinderella" crop. 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.
did you notice that your wondrous lorenzo's oil is actually made from canola oil?
Lorenzo's parents submitted proof to the NIH that the Chinese had been using rapeseed oil throughout a 5,000 year period with significantly fewer heart problems than those cultures not using it.
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.
"Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada
from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.
According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine
for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to
produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other
animals"."

I wouldn't want to be evolved from Canadians.
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.
This entire banning this and that is getting totally out of line. As said, we are becoming a nanny state and I don't want the government in my kitchen or anywhere else. Making us aware of the dangers is one thing, banning is quite another.
If we reduced government's role to merely informing people about what's in certain foods, then what would we do with all the leftover liberals?
