looked up Canola oil on Wikipedia just now ... only because of you since i had zero intention of consuming it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed_oil

apparently it is regulated to maximum 2% erucic acid that is shown in studies to damage the cardiac muscle, with more stringent limits for oil meant to be consumed by infants ( but you're not an infant so it's OK if you die )

i need cardiac damage in my life - don't you ? i mean what kind of fool would use cooking oils that don't even contain any known toxins ?

with so many oils and fats to choose from clearly the only rational choice is the one that has to be regulated by government for its content of a known poison, with that content varying based on how important the government deems your survival to be.

if some buffon on YouTube says it's good then it must be true. what more proof do you need ?

People in India have been using mustard seed oil and rapeseed oil for many generations and nobody seems to get cardiac muscle damage. AFAIK there is zero evidence of this in humans. Just because it happens in rats, the regulators got scared and did this to us. I don't think the "low acid" makes any significant difference.

So if you take rapeseeds, not GM modified to be "roundup ready" but the original ones, not cross-bred to be low-acid, cold press extract the oil, and don't chemically remove the taste, I admit that would probably be a healthier oil. But nobody around here sells it.
