“oil which is an acronym for Canadian Oil low acid there's no such thing as a canola plant Canada said hey we've got these rape seeds let's figure out a way to do this they genetically modified a rape seed plant to be low arusc acid but it still has significant amounts of arusc acid a fat that has been associated with heart lesions in the studies and so this is concerning you're eating 2 to 3% arusc acid I believe is the number in canola oil native RP seed plants have 30 to 40% but you're still getting some.”

“we talked a lot in the last podcast that we just did about cumulative stress yes and so do you really want to be eating this oil do you really want to be eating excess amounts of linolic acid from any seed oil but canola specifically no I don't think any human has ever really gone up to a rape seed plant and said yum let me eat this like it's never it's never even been a food for humans and now it's probably the single most consumed seed oil around it's touted as healthy by the American Heart Association because it lowers your cholesterol.”
