RAPE SEED OIL OR "CANOLA"?  By John Thomas

Canola is a coined word. It appeared out of nowhere and is not listed in any but the most recent reference sources. The flip side of the canola coin reads "rape"! You must admit that canola sounds better than rape. The name canola disguised the introduction of rape oil in America.

Canola oil comes from the rape seed, which is part of the mustard family of plants. Rape is the Most Toxic of all- food plants. Like soy, rape is a weed. Insects will not eat it; it is deadly poisonous. The oil from the rape seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy oil!

Canola is a semi-drying oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminant for the slick color pages that you see in the magazines. It is an industrial oil and does NOT belong in the body!

Canola oil has some very interesting characteristics and effects on living systems. For example, it forms latex-like substances that agglutinate the red blood corpuscles, as does soy, but MUCH more pronounced. Loss of vision is a known, characteristic side effect of rape oil which antagonizes the central and peripheral nervous system – again like soy oil, again worse. The deterioration takes years, however.

Rape (canola) oil causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability and blindness in animals – and humans.

Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991 when it was thrown out. You may remember reading about the cows, pigs and sheep, that went blind, lost their minds, attacked people and had to be shot. A woman called from Chicago to tell that she had been in England when the "Mad Cow Disease" was at its peak. She said that she had seen a television news report that told people not to panic if they had been using rape oil in their diet and were over 65 years of age. The ‘experts’ added that the effects of rape oil ingestion takes at least 10 years to manifest, and in all likelihood, most of these people would be dead by then anyway. COMFORTING!

In the reports the ‘experts’ blamed the erratic behavior on a viral disease called scrapie. However, when rape oil was removed from animal feed, ‘scrapie’ disappeared.

No longer a European livestock problem; now it is ours. U.S. farmers grow rape seed, and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings of government watchdog agencies, of course.

Officially, canola oil is known as "Low Erucic Acid" (a solid fatty acid, derived from oils of mustard seeds and rape seeds) – rape industry experts love to tell how canola was developed in Canada and that it is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rape seed, but that through genetic engineering, i.e. irradiation, it is no longer rape seed, but "canola" instead. "CAN-adian oil," get it?

They love to talk about canola’s qualities, its unsaturated structure (Omega 3, 6 and 12), its wonderful digestibility and its fatty acid makeup. They turn us against naturally saturated oils and fats, while they come to the rescue with canola oil. They even tell us now Asia has warmly embraced canola due to its distinctive flavour. Isn’t it wonderful how internationalist brokers "help" third world people? Reminds me of the introduction of the microwave oven.

Its new name provided perfect cover for commercial interests wanting to make billions in the USA. The euphemism is still very much in use, but is no longer needed. Look at the ingredients list on peanut butter labels. The peanut oil has been removed and replaced with rape oil.

Rape oil is also the source of the infamous chemical-warfare agent, mustard gas (this statement apperas to be false, I am looking into it, anyone with more information please email me - Dr. Long. *See further information at end of this article), which was banned after blistering the lungs and skin of hundred thousands of soldiers and civilians during WWI. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during the Gulf War.

Between 1950 and 1953, White mustard (rape) seed was in Sweden to increase seed production and oil content. Genetically engineered fruits and vegetables, which will soon have innocent things like hepatitis B spliced into DNA -- are another example of man’s misuse of technology and abuse of public trust by powerful interests and "head in the sand" watchdog agencies.

Canola oil contains large amounts of "isothicyanates" – cyanide containing compounds. Cyanide inhibits mitochondrial production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy molecule that fuels the mitochondria. ATP energy powers the body and keeps us healthy and YOUNG!

CANOLA OIL & METABOLISM

Many substances can bind metabolic enzymes and block their activity in the body. In biochemistry, these substances are called inhibitors. Toxic substances in canola and soy oil encourage the formation of molecules with covalent bonds which are normally irreversible: they cannot be broken by the body when they have formed.

SOY AND CANOLA OIL GLYCOSIDES ALSO DEPRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. THEY CAUSE THE WHITE BLOOD CELL DEFENSE SYSTEM – the T cells to go into a stupor and fall asleep on the job. These oils alter the bioelectric "terrain" and promote disease.

For example, consider the pesticide malathion. It binds to the active site of the enzyme actylcholinesterase and stops this enzyme from doing its job which is to divide acetylcholine into choline and acetate.

NERVE FUNCTION & ORGANOPHOSFATES (Phosphorus containing pesticides).

Acetylcholine is critical to nerv-impulse transmission. When acetylocholinesterase is inhibited, as by pesticide residues, nerve fibers do not function normally, and muscles do not respond.

Recently there has been a tremendous increase in disorders like systemic lupus, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, "myelinoma", pulmonary hypertension and neuropathy. Soy and canola oils are players in the outbreak of these disease conditions. So are the organophosphates, insecticides such as malathion used in food production in the name of efficiency.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors cause paralysis of the skeletal muscles and spasms of the respiratory system. That is why malathion is the pesticide of choice by the experts; it kills insects by paralysis, just like rotenone from soy beans does! It inhibits the insect’s enzymes and those of humans, too. Nevertheless, present-day experts in academia and government continue to bamboozle the public with stories of "safe" science and cheap food through the use of poisons.

Canola oil is also high in glycosides that cause serious problems by blocking enzyme function and depriving us of our life force – chi, qi, prana, call it what you like.

Glycosides interfere with the biochemistry of humans and animals. Their presence in rattlesnake venom inhibits muscle enzymes and causes instant immobilization of the victim.

Alcohol and glycosides in canola and soy oil shut down our protective grid – the immune system. Flouride, immunizations, antibiotics and bio-junk food play a similar role in immune system collapse.
