4. Canola Oil

What exactly is canola oil? Have you ever seen a canola plant? No? That’s because there isn’t one! Canola oil comes from the rapeseed plant and there is one thing everyone can agree on: rapeseed plants stink. In order to make “canola” oil, the rapeseed plant goes through a chemical process and is deodorized it with a compound called hexane. Hexane is a vapor component of gasoline.

Read that one again. Gasoline. Sounds tasty doesn’t it? Have you seen those bottles of canola oil that state that they are “organic”? What could possibly be organic about hexane? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? When this oil is being made, any healthy nutritional value gets processed right out of it, which is why you should never use this to cook with and you should never consume any foods that contain this.

Just something to note, about 25 years ago, the FDA outlawed canola oil in infant formula because it retards growth. Apparently, the FDA thinks this is bad for children, but OK for you. Gee, thanks. Read more about dangers you should know about canola oil.

    There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
