I thought canola oil was good for us. We were told it was the healthy oil the way we're now being told olive oil is healthy.  :( [/quote]

Olive oil has been used since 3500 BC so they've always known it's safe. But it's $$$. The modern oils are an invention of the mechanization in agriculture.  You cannot naturally squeeze oil out of canola.  It's a modern absurdity. [/quote]

Canola oil is a big scam. Highly processed and genetically modified to optimize profit. I don’t touch soy or corn oil either. If those “vegetable” oil are so much healthier how come the US has such disproportionate  rates of heart disease compared with other countries where people use olive oil very liberally including for frying (Spain), or other oils such as sunflower, rapeseed, safflower, even ghee, palm or coconut oil. Additionally, in the US few people make their own vinaigrette daily like tons of people do in Europe. That’s a great way to consuming beneficial oils with a good omega profile to help balance everything out. [/quote]

Portion size.  That’s what the difference is.  It’s not any one food or one type of food.  It’s sheer quantity, and until we acknowledge that and stop looking for a food or an oil to blame, we will never get a handle on it.[/quote]

+1 The “big scam” is that people keep falling for these ever-changing dietary guidelines and thinking “ah, now we’ve found the real culprit!”[/quote]
