Canola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now this is a good example of a product that has long been touted as a good oil and it now turns out it is mostly made from genetically modified rapeseed and could cause cancer to boot! I had been using a blend of olive oil and canola oil for regular cooking for the last two years and definitely will be making a change!
Here is a link to a discussion about canola oil: http://www.breathing.com/articles/canola-oil.htm
Other cooking oils that you can consider are:
1. Grapeseed oil which may have medicinal benefits.
2. Sunflower oil and Safflower oil are also good alternatives as the omega-6 fatty acids in the oils may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.[3]
3. Peanut Oil -
4. Coconut Oil -- after being maligned as being bad and high in cholesterol, coconut oil is now touted as one of the good oils. It is extracted from the pulp of mature coconuts.
