Yeah, and they claim that the new hybrids don’t cause blindness anymore, but that remains to be seen.
LoL!
We should not eat many things, not because we are 'leftists' but because real science shows they are unhealthy - poisons. There are 'fast acting' poisons, like arsenic, and slow acting poisons, like refined sugar. You wouldn't eat arsenic on a regular basis. Small amounts won't hurt you, but large amounts will kill you quickly.
This is the same with certain 'foods' in our diet. Avoid refined sugar. Avoid grains. Avoid processed foods. Avoid all soy products, unless fermented. Eat most everything else. Bacon, meats, butter, vegetables. I fry my eggs in bacon fat every day. I fry my French fries in lard.
I am not a 'leftist' but an educated consumer of food.
It was developed in Canada (hence the CAN part of the word) from oil (or rapeseed).
It does, to the opposite sex.
ive read that all soybeans in the U.S. Are genetically modified.
Yes, the food fetish market is pushed by leftists.

“Back in the day ...before junk science the experts were proclaiming that the mass cultivating of soybeans would help save mankind.”
One of the events that opened my eyes to just how out of touch most academics are was having a college prof tell me that that in the future we wouldn’t need farmers because we would synthesis everything from soy beens.
bkmk
I guess it depends on what you're using the canola oil for.
It’s rapeseed oil. Rape grows well in Canada. The natural variety of rape was slightly poisonous and did not yield an edible oil, but Canadian scientists developed a hybrid that eliminated the poison.
Since rape and rapeseed are rather unpleasant sounding, and unlikely to be the first choice of shoppers, they called it canola, CANadian Oil Low Acid since the poison in natural rapeseed is an acid.
You are correct 10 years ago...
There are tons of research that the cheap ingredients, some are low level toxins, put in our food we consume being manufactured and sold by the major food companies is very unhealthy long term...
Diabetes, dementia, alzheimer's, heart disease, hypertension are all at record levels compared to pre-processed food being manufactured and consumed ...
You first cig won't affect your health, but the 30 years later and 100,000 more does.
The same thing happens with much of the cheap crap they put in processed food today...
People of all strips are getting informed about what they are consuming, and they are finding out it's slowly killing them...
I'm one of them...
I’d be interested to see them do a similarly structured study comparing the effects butter and lard to soybean and canola oils. Look at crowd pictures of Americans from the first half of the twentieth century. Very few fat people at a time when published recipes simply used the word “fat” for added shortening, and with the exception of Mediterranean cooking that meant butter or lard. And sweetener meant real sugar, not corn syrup and synthetic rubbish. Of course, people back then also were more physically active, walking most places and doing work instead of pointlessly exercising at the gym on treadmills, basically human size mouse cage running wheels.
It’s not in diets of those of us that have Hypothyroidism either. Got to read the labels on any pre-made stuff.
And you don’t take Calcium or Vit E at the same time you take your Synthroid they are not compatible.
Grass fed cows tend to produce meat that is less fatty and higher in omega. I’m not against corn fed, I just think it’s good to know.
I wasn’t around when it started, but it seems to me that the entire history of government involvement in food (with a few exceptions) consists of making a problem where none previously existed, “solving” the problem with alternating and often conflicting advice and action that generally caused more harm then good, and, where we are now, eventually coming to the conclusion that the best course of action would have been to have left things as they were before they got involved.
Not surprising...
I spent 30 years eating basically the normal American diet, soft drinks, fast food, pizza, subs, processed foods, few vegetables, little fruit, etc..
As a result of that I developed hypertension, Type II diabetes, got obese, unhealthy...
I was at one time on six medications for all the consequences of eating like a idiot...
About two ago I started really digging into the research on the foods we are eating determined to get off as much medication as I could and regain my health...
Down to two pills a day, probably don't need one of them but waiting to see my doctor to get his approval when he sees my numbers...
We are what we eat, just look around and it isn't hard to see what we are eating is a BIG part of why Americans are fat, sick and unhealthy, yet pay the most for their healthcare...

Soy oil derivatives are used as lubes in bakeries and other food facilities.
I found salad dressing that has yogurt as its base rather than soybean oil. It still has some soybean oil in it but a much smaller amount.
