This is why I don't use it in cooking.
I used it in a soap bar a few months ago and I was happy with how it behaved with the other oils to make a lovely bar of soap, but now, it has DOS so I won't do that again.

Monsanto made rapeseed "Roundup-ready", which means that you can now spray with Roundup (a highly toxic poison) and it doesn't kill the rapeseed (which is what canola oil is made from), but just kills weeds around it.
I don't like the idea of being able to eat something sprayed with Roundup.
Not sure if I even want to put it on my skin, cuz things have a way of leaching into the body through the skin.
and as for Marianne's claim that her relatives have been eating canola oil for years, and lived long healthy lives into their 80's....consider:Canola oil has only been around in its current form since about 1978. People who never ate it in their childhoods may have stronger immune systems. Today's octogenarians ate mostly organic foods in their childhoods also.
