How did the Canadian government get canola oil approved
Well the Canadian government was rumored to have paid the FDA $50 million for the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) approval rating, for Canola. That's how. Canola oil's real name is LEAR oil (Low Erucic Acid Rape). It is more commonly known as Rape oil or Rapeseed oil, a semi-drying oil that is used as a lubricant, bio-fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base, and as an illuminant to give color pages in magazines their slick look. In short it is an industrial oil that does not belong in the human body. It is typically referred to as a penetrating oil.
The
origin of canola, the plant engineering behind it, and everything from
it's mysterious approval by the Food and Drug Administration as a GRAS
(generally recognized as safe) food in 1985 to it's trans fat content
has come under scrutiny. Canola is an acronym for Canada oil low acid, and
was contrived by the Canadian oil industry in 1978. Canadian scientists
genetically modified the rapeseed plants for the express purpose of
processing the oil for human consumption. It was cheap and easy to grow.
In the 1970's, companies were looking for substitutes for saturated
fats, which were being blamed for heart, and other
health issues. Enter Canada, to the rescue with canola. Natural
rapeseed oil is poisonous to humans, and animals. It contains high levels
of erucic acid, which causes heart lesions and other problems. So the
need to change the name for marketing purposes was obvious. Rapeseed has
been used as a source of lubricating oil for thousands of years in Asia
and Europe, but it was unprocessed cold-pressed oil.
Today,
Canola oil is processed by using solvents like hexane and other toxic
chemicals to strip oils from the seeds. Then using high heat, which
turns the omega-3's in the oil rancid, and very smelly. Which further
necessitates processing to remove the odor of the rancid omega-3's, and
turns them into trans-fatty acids. Canola is then hydrogenated to
solidify it, (injected with hydrogen) and in this form it may contain as
much as 40% trans fats. Before canola, Canadian rapeseed was mainly
grown to produce lubricating products for ships. The truth is, rapeseed
oil is the most toxic of all food oil plants. Not even insects will eat
it. It turns out that rapeseed is a member of the mustard family of
plants, and is the source for the chemical agent, Mustard Gas, which
causes blistering on skin and lungs when inhaled. mustard gas was banned
after WWI for this very reason.
Canola
oil's proponents claim that due to genetic engineering and irradiation,
it is no longer rapeseed oil, but canola oil (same oil different name).
They also claim it is completely safe, pointing to it's unsaturated
structure and digestibility. However studies of canola oil done on rats
indicate many problems. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart,
kidney, adrenals and thyroid gland. When the canola oil was withdrawn
from their diet, the deposits dissolved, but scar tissue remained on the
organs. Research at the University of Florida-Gainesville, determined
that as much as 4.6% of all the fatty acids in unrefined canola are
"trans" isomers, which are like plastic, due to the refining
process. Yes, plastic, so if you use canola you are ingesting isomers
that are similar to plastic and plastic is toxic. When the canola is
hydrogenated, you have a double effect of toxins going into your body,
trans-isomers, possible plastics. 
In Chinese studies it was found that rapeseed oil that is used in China for stir-frying,
produces highly carcinogenic smoke. According to The Wall Street Journal
on June 7, 1995, an increased incidence of lung cancer occurs in people
who breathe that smoke. In 1996, the Japanese announced a study where a
canola oil diet had actually killed laboratory animals. Reacting to
this unpublished, but verified and startling information, a duplicate
study was conducted by Canadian scientists using piglets and a canola
oil based milk diet. In this second study published in Nutrition
Research, 1997, v17, the researchers verified that canola oil somehow
depleted the piglets of vitamin E to a dangerously low level. In the
abstract of the study, the Canadian researchers made the following
remarkable statement: "It is known that ingestion of oils containing
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the n-3 and n-6 series results in a
high degree of unsaturation in membrane phospholipids, which in turn
may increase lipid peroxidation, cholesterol oxidation, free radical
accumulation and membrane damage." All very bad attributes. Firstly, the
idea of something depleting vitamin E rapidly is an alarming
development. Vitamin E is absolutely essential to human health.
In
addition to that canola oil contains large amounts of isothicyanates, cyanide
containing compounds. Cyanide inhibits mitochondrial production of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy molecule that fuels
the mitochondria part of immune cells, and if the canola oil is hydrogenated,
you have a double adverse effect. It is now being observed
that eating rapeseed (canola) has a cumulative effect, taking almost 10 years
before symptoms begin to manifest. One possible effect of long-term use
is the destruction of the protective coating surrounding nerves called
the myelin sheath. This is like having raw, open wires in the body. Some
symptoms include:- tremors and shaking
- uncoordination when walking or writing
- slurred speech
- deterioration of memory and thinking processes
- fuzzy or low audio levels
- difficulty urinating/incontinence
- breathing problems/short of breath
- nervous breakdown
- numbness and tingling in extremities
- heart problems/arrhythmia
