Canola oil - Is it really fit for human (or animal) consumption?

Maybe you have read about this stuff, and maybe not, but try this test at
home - Then be sure and share the results with your friends.

For those of us purchasing "organic" for our families I want to share an
experience that I just noticed with Canola oil. This is taken from my
kitchen and any of one that would like to try this experiment can, and will
see the results for themselves.

I cook with (and purchase products with) multiple oils. (Olive, Peanut,
Sesame, (and previously Canola). Canola is now turning up in more and more
products in the "health" food arena -stores like Whole Foods. I'm not sure
what Trader Joe's thinks of this stuff as I actually use them as my source
for things, like cookies for my kids, that do not contain Canola. And of
course, outside of the US I am not sure what people think of this stuff
(except of course Canada, they have a vested interest in its success).

Anyway, take a select number of different vegetable oils and put a tiny bit
of each inside separate glass jars (just cover the bottom of the jar) (and
be sure that one is Canola). Be certain to make a bit of mess and get some
of the oil on the outside of the jar. Cover the jar and put in the cupboard.
Check on it occasionally (every few days) by taking it out, opening the lid,
swishing it around, getting a bit more on the outside, closing the lid and
returning. Don't get oil from one jar on another. (Don't refrigerate while
trying this.)

What will happen is the oils will oxidize. This is normal and each will take
on a bit of bad smell. This is rancidity and is ok. All of jars will be a
bit slippery of course because "it's oil", this you would expect. BUT, what
you will notice about Canola oil is that it will thicken and harden as it
oxidizes. This is bad news for a consumable food product.

Now if you like, feel free to do a bit of a search on Canola and see; Who
makes it? What does Canola mean? Can it really be labeled "organic"? Could
it contain poisonous properties? This is what I did after I noticed this
transformation in my cupboard, boy was I surprised.

Then be sure to tell your grocer why you no longer purchase their products
with Canola oil. Snack food bars, cookies, breads, grain-cereals, etc.. It's
showing up in so many foods because of its low cost.

It's not natural, it's not healthy and in the long run I don't think it will
prove good for your budget.

To good food, and good health.
