There seems to be a lot of "google" info on canola or rapeseed oil being bad for us...but pushed through by the higher powers that be. Funny thing is that the salad dressing I had been using had canola in it and I kept thinking that I needed to drop it...I finally did! Any thoughts or info on canola?

NOTE: Update on old post. I no longer recommend canola oil due to it being transgenic, or genetically modified to withstand high doses of glyphosate, also known as RoundUp herbicide. There are some non-GMO canola oils now being used by some major food companies which are fine. Please stay away from regular canola oil, which has been found to contain high levels of glyphosate residues. Glyphosate, an ubiquious herbicide not only kills plants but has harmful effects on gut bacteria. Avoid all GMO corn, soy, canola and sugar beets. We have also learned that some farmers are spraying wheat, rye, oats, lentils and sugar cane with glyphosate pre harvest. When possible purchase the organic versions of these products, especially when feeding children.
