Canola Oil is on one of my all-time WORST foods list.
Canola oil comes from the rapeseed plant, but was rebranded and marketed for obvious reasons. When you look at the facts, there’s some really scary concerns. Rapeseed oil is pretty horrible stuff. In its natural state, it’s an yucky greenish color. It also has a high concentration of erucic acid, which may cause heart damage. To turn it into something marketable,
manufacturers remove the erucic acid. Bleach it. Deodorise it. And degum the oil with various chemicals, including hexane, a chemical solvent. This process means the canola oil found on supermarket shelves has been refined, heated, and damaged.

The challenge is, because it does contain some omega-3s, it shouldn’t be heated to high heat (but frequently is). The processing and refining of canola oil leads to the creation of extremely unhealthy trans-fats that can be metabolically damaging by increasing the risk for heart disease, depression and other mental disorders, weight gain and embarrassing belly fat as well as lower DHA levels in the brain.
Toss this oil, out of your pantry, and certainly I wouldn’t buy it off the shelves. Also, because its not in some of the other foods you buy such as: sultanas, tin tuna, spreads, fries, dressings, breads, cereals. Finally, if you read vegetable oil, I always presume its canola oil, unless stated otherwise.
If you’re ready to get started with a workout program that works (and you live in the Brisbane Southside area – we are located in Stones Corner) drop on by and we will be happy to give you a FREE Personal Training Experience session. You can also check out our 21Day Fit & Tone Personal Training Package for $21 on our website.
Of course, if you’re not a local resident you can like our Facebook page to receive all the latest information, knowledge and events as well.
