Comments on: The Inconvenient Truth About Canola Oil http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/2009/09/25/the-inconvenient-truth-about-canola-oil/ Adventures in Living Lightly Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jennifer http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/2009/09/25/the-inconvenient-truth-about-canola-oil/#comment-1680 Jennifer Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:25:00 +0000 http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/?p=2144#comment-1680 I've heard this about canola before, but it's great to have all the facts you've outlined here. We've stopped using canola and use mostly EVOO and Coconut Oil. The problem though is my son is atopic (allergies, eczema) and can't consume coconut or dairy products without breaking out in eczema. How high can we heat EVOO so that it's still safe?  Is there another alternative to the lard/animal fat products? What about unrefined sunflower or grapeseed, etc?  Thanks so much for sharing this valuable information. I hope people take it to heart. It's hard to make a change and face the truth. Not everyone is willing, but I hope you can  help spark change. Jennifer I’ve heard this about canola before, but it’s great to have all the facts you’ve outlined here.

Although rapeseed oil has been available in the UK it's not as heavily marketed as it is in the US! Thank you for the in depth explanation!  Great advice, we stopped cooking with Sunflower oil this year when I found out about the dangers of polyunsaturated oils!

I took that canola our of my diet (along with aspartame) and I was sleeping like a rock. I thought I was the only person who knew  that stuff was poison. I was not sleeping well a while back.

Sadly I didn't learn this stuff until I went to school to become a Nutritional Therapist Practitioner.
