These scare emails are getting better and better - they mix fact and anecdote to really get the response they want.
"A friend, who worked for only 9 months as a quality control taster at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying,developed numerous health problems......"
"A fellow worker, about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a routine check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an 80 year old man. Two employees fed the waste product to baby calves and
their hair fell out. After removing the fried apple chips from the diet their hair grew back in."
"My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her mom's arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, "Oh mom", not hard enough to hurt. My daughters arm split open like it was rotten. "
oh no! a friend of mine who smoked for 20 yrs, drank like a fish and sat on his arse all day died of a heart attack! - i bet he used canola oil!! lol ....!It might have been pretty credible sounding if they hadn't thrown those in....
that is like the ketone argument - how come ketones appear in candy bars and in government restricted cleaning agents like MEK? any aircraft mechanics out there can verify that eh?
the biggest worry i have heard about canola is the fact that pesticide is so heavily used at every phase of growth and harvest - most of the genetic engineering is to make the crop more resistant to cheap pesticides so the growers make more cash -
people are legitimately worried about it because it is so processed, but i don't think anyone is dropping dead from it - i always use olive oil anyway
oh well my $.02
