Canola Oil

Ever wondered what “canola” means? Well, it’s a made-up word combining Canada and oil. Canola oil is derived and modified from toxic rapeseed into something edible. Before genetic engineering, canola oil was an industrial oil used in candles, inks, and insecticides. It was not meant for human consumption before extensive engineering made this option possible.

The refining process makes it “safe” to eat canola oil, even though it’s known to cause kidney and liver problems, hypertension, and strokes. It’s super cheap, which is why it’s in most of your crunchy snacks.
