Don't gargle. <br /><br />You can also flavor the oil with a few drops of cinnamon oil or peppermint oil if the taste of the oil bothers you.Grandma Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489523959321155220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363730087661467442.post-31243118147978498052009-12-30T08:53:19.770-08:002009-12-30T08:53:19.770-08:00You are right "David," that is a bad lin...You are right "David," that is a bad link. I did it in a hurry and didn't check thoroughly. Here is what Mary Enig and Sally Fallon have to say about canola oil. It still isn't good.<br /><br />http://www.westonaprice.org/The-Great-Con-ola.html<br /><br />You have to read all the way to the end of this rather long article for their conclusions. <br /><br />"Most interesting of all is the fact that many studies show that the problems with canola oil are not related to the content of erucic acid, but more with the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and low levels of saturated fats."<br /><br />I should probably write a whole post about the omega-3/omega-6 balance. And then there's the processing...<br /><br />"The standard deodorization process removes a large portion of the omega-3 fatty acids by turning them into trans fatty acids. Although the Canadian government lists the trans content of canola at a minimal 0.2 percent, research at the University of Florida at Gainesville, found trans levels as high as 4.6 percent in commercial liquid oil. The consumer has no clue about the presence of trans fatty acids in canola oil because they are not listed on the label."<br /><br />And then there's the problem with monounsaturates...<br /><br />"At least it can be said that canola oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat--like olive oil--and therefore not harmful. . . Or is it? Obviously monounsaturated fatty acids are not harmful in moderate amounts in the context of a traditional diet, but what about in the context of the modern diet, where the health-conscious community is relying on monounsaturated fats almost exclusively? There are indications that monounsaturated fats in excess and as the major type of fat can be a problem."<br /><br />The problems include inhibiting prostaglandins and heart disease. Read the whole thing for all the details. Finally, canola is a highly processed oil made from genetically altered seeds. Something I don't want to eat.Grandma Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489523959321155220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363730087661467442.post-80159562527198852292009-12-29T17:11:37.864-08:002009-12-29T17:11:37.864-08:00oops.

Just my 2 cents.

It's highly processed and made from rapeseed which is poisonous (mustard gas). They have genetically engineered it to make it "safe." Yeah...
