Shocking study: Canola oil is NOT healthy; can lead to a diminished memory

(Natural News) Canola oil may be marketed as a vegetable oil, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s healthy. Few people know canola oil’s dirty secret: There is no such thing as a canola plant. It’s actually made from hybridized rapeseed. Rapeseed oil was once commonly used for industrial applications and in food — until the health problems associated with this oil became overwhelmingly apparent. In the 1970’s, hybridized rapeseed was “rebranded” as canola oil, to make it more appealing to consumers.

Nowadays, canola oil is lauded for its purported health benefits; some organizations like The Canola Oil Council of Canada proclaim that it’s the “healthiest” of all cooking oils. Others advertise it as a “low cost” alternative to olive oil, but as studies now show, the two are not even close to being equal. Under the “anti-saturated fat” dogma of modern nutrition led by corporate interests, canola oil looks great — but it really isn’t.

Once again, Natural News goes into hysterics over something  (SHOCKING!) that has been reported on numerous times before. 

Personally, I have used canola oil for several years and have not suffered any ill effects.  IMHO, it's a lot healthier than coconut oil which has been touted as a cure for everything from hangnails to high cholesterol.  It's not. 

Olive oil is ok, but I think it imparts a taste to food that  I find disagreeable.  Canola has no taste to leave in food. 

To each his own.
