In summary, what the above article states is that when Canola Oil (or Rapeseed Oil) was fed to rats, it resulted in an 8% reduced life span. More significantly, the offspring of the Canola Oil fed rats, who were also fed the toxic oil, had a 20% reduced lifespan!!!



  

      See also a report on the effects of Erucic Acid, which is the toxic component of Canola Oil: http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/_srcfiles/Erucic%20acid%20monograph.pdf

                In summary, this article states that when rats were fed just one dose of Erucic acid, it resulted in fatty deposits of the heart muscle of these rats. And Canola Oil is being promoted as a heart healthy oil! This amounts to massive deception!!!

This article is published on the Australian Governments website, Foodstandards, so they are definitely aware of the toxic effects of Canola Oil, and yet the public are not being informed about the very real dangers at all!!!



  

      See also the folowing article: http://atvb.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/18/11/1818.pdf.

                In summary, this article states that the feeding of animals with high amounts of MONO-unsaturated oils, such as those found in Olive and Canola Oil, resulted in a greater incidence of heart disease. Even the animals fed saturated fats had lower levels of cardiovascular disease, compared to those fed the monounsaturated oils.
