Canola oil = cancer? Anti-perspirant = Alzheimer's?

I started using Canola oil in replacement of Vegetable oil about 2 years ago. Read/heard somewhere that it was better for you... better fats or whatever. Am I a victim of payoffs? I have read and heard now from a few sources that we were paid well to market Canada's Canola (rapeseed) oil. Does our country care that little for our health?
I'm tossing this shit and going back to Vegetable oil when I can't use olive oil.

And, aluminum causes alzheimer's? Nice to just find out now after 10 years of using anti-perspirant daily. I'm in search of something natural now, i'll let you all know if I find anything that works well.

Ugh.

Guess what? Everything gives you cancer.

Guess what? If you worry about it all, you'll have high blood pressure and die a miserable death with ulcers.

Guess what? If you don't worry about it you'll catch cancer and die.

Guess what? Everyone dies anyways, life will end for you when its meant to end, there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

Try this, then use the page to search for the anti-perspirant.

Snopes may not be the be-all and end-all, but they do show their references.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Thanks. I am not sure if i'll keep using it or not, but it is good to have read that:) I am still a bit hesitant to believe that it is cancer-causing, and hesitant to believe that it isn't. There are so many sites which place it in a bad light, and many others which place it in a good one. I don't use much oil, anyhow, maybe I should just stick to olive oil unless i'm baking.

I searched and they did not have it
my ex believed this too ('bout the perspirant)
I still use it though... I look forward to meeting all the new people. When my Grandma had dementia I was introduced to her daily, and there were times she was convinced I was her brother... lol
rest her soul, but she at least had a since of humor about it... which made it fun

On the canola oil article, have you read the rest of the site?

Wow, what a great science site. The article on the canola oil itself is just as good:

I read where rape oil was the source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civilians during W.W.I.

And hey, he read where rape oil was used in mustard gas or something! And let's not forget it's called "rape" oil, therefore it has to be bad. I mean, they're like raping the oil or the seeds or the land or something...

Definately go with olive oil, olive branches are a sign of peace and hence harmony. You want to put harmony in your body not some oil that was raped. In fact, I'd recommend extra virgin olive oil. You can never be too careful.

Yeah! And I heard that salt is made of chlorine and sodium, and chlorine was used _as_ a poison gas in World War 1! And people still _swim_ in salt water. Idiots.

I like the line from "Fight Club" -- One any given scale, the survival rate is zero.

Sodium! That cant be right! Isnt that stuff highly explosive in water?

Thats it, I'm taking the healthy choice now: no more salt in my fries.

I'm safe, though....I wear a drysuit, so the salt can't be absorbed through my skin. I tried wearing it once skydiving....I almost suffocated...

Well, here's the way I see it. If cancer won't kill you, something else will. Besides, if you spend your whole life watching what you eat, drink, or use in fear of dying, then what's the point of living healthy if you're not "living"??

I live in Canada and used to use a product called Crisco vegetable oil. When that went off the shelves and Crisco vegetable oil became "Canola" I switched to olive oil- basically stopped eating fry food. *note* Europe stopped importing Canola oil for good reason.

P.S....hemp seed oil in my shampoo and conditioner is completely awesome

Hmm, I dive in saltwater. I guess I should be glad I got rid of those damn aluminum tanks too!

I thought the test linking Aluminum to Alzheimer's was flawed.

Here's another place to look.

Question:
I've read on the Internet that canola oil is really food-industry-disguised rapeseed oil and that rapeseed oil has been removed from food products in Europe because it can cause serious health problems. Is this true?

Barry / Canada

Answer:

Neither rumor is true. Rapeseed oil comes from the seeds of rape plants. Canola oil comes from canola plants. Scientists developed canola plants through careful crossbreeding of rape plants. This crossbreeding got rid of the unwanted compounds found in rapeseed oil.

Rapeseed oil has erucic acid, a fatty acid. Some types of rapeseed oil with high concentrations of erucic acid have industrial uses, such as for mechanical lubrication. Because these types can be toxic, you can't buy them for human consumption in Western countries.

Canola oil, on the other hand, is known for being heart-healthy. Here's why:

* Canola oil is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower blood cholesterol.
* Among all vegetable oils, canola oil is lowest in saturated fats.
* Canola oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which may offer additional protection from cardiovascular disease.

Scientists have tested canola oil extensively in animals and in humans. The Food and Drug Administration considers it safe for humans to consume. Also, canola oil is widely used in Europe.

I agree with that mentality to an extent. If I can cut my risk of getting breast cancer & alzheimer's by using a different deoderant, hell i'm using a different deoderant! If canola oil may cause cancer, i'll just stick to Olive oil. If I can signifigantly decrease my risk of getting a heart attack by staying away from trans-fats... well, I will eat better food. Funny, took a bit of time, but now i'd actually rather have an all-natural veggie stir fry, or a burger I make at home, than any of that fast food garbage.

Yeah, but you should really stop worrying about junk science websites. The guy giving out the deodorant warning also recomends on another page that you should have your amalgam dental fillings removed.

Before you make changes in your life based on some information, consider the source of the information. There are a lot of quacks and whackos out there and the internet makes it easy for them to get exposure.
