I am so disappointed to see this item offered by your company!!! You fail to mention that this is rape seed oil, suitable for lubricating machinery but not fit for human consumption. I also have difficulty with an organic designation being given to a genetically engineered material. Please research this further !!!

New Directions Aromatics Response:

Canola oil has been victimized by false rumors for a long time but the truth is that it is a safe product.

Rapeseed oil actually comes from the plant Brassica Napus and Canola comes from Brassica Campestris. They are different products and should not be confused with one and other. The toxicity of rapeseed comes from erucic acid, however canola contains less than 1% erucic acid and has undergone many studies over the years to prove its safety.

Brassica Capestris is not a genetically modified version of Brassica Napus; it was created using traditional pedigree hybrid propagation of black mustard, leaf mustard and turnip rapeseed. This is the same kind of cross breeding that has given us peaches and cream corn. If it was a genetically modified plant, it could not be certified organic by the USDA as this would automatically disqualify it.

It is true that Canola has been used as an industrial lubricant, but so have Corn oil, Flax oil and Soybean Oil and the fact that it has more than one use cannot logically be used as an indicator that it is bad for people. Nitroglycerine is another perfect example since it has long been used to treat heart conditions.
