>"Canola oil [aka rapeseed oil, present in many foods] is one of the worst fats one could put in their body because it contains erucic acid that damages the heart." FYI, reducing the erucic acid content in canola seeds it one of the main targets of canola breeding - you have to have less than 2% erucic acid and low contents of glucosinolates to qualify for the name of "canola" (it's a trademark: "Canada oil", or possibly "Can(ada)+o(il)+l(ow)+a(cid)"). Wild seeds have too much acid to be edible, cultivars have very low content of erucic acids, so I agree with you, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. |
