It's just Corn Oil. If you don't want to use that, then plain ol vegetable is fine. Don't use olive oil as it's so strongly flavoured - that'd be a weird combination with chocolate!

found a lot of sites saying that canola oil was bad. I have to admit I didn't read them all, but my impression is that they all reference the same 1996 article. I pretty much quit reading when I got to the part about how canola oil causes glaucoma and mad cow disease and possibly causes AIDS - although the article I found also seemed to be saying AIDS was a government plot, so I'm a little confused about this.
Obviously, I'm unconvinced, but as a place to start doing research for yourself, here's a link to a Whole Foods page that lists the claims about canola oil's problems, where they came from, and Whole Foods' responses.
I did check my bottle of Crisco Canola Oil and it says "No Trans Fat" which I think should dispose of the "partially hydrogenated" issue. As far as I can tell from my research, Lorenzo's oil is a combination of olive oil and rapeseed (canola) oil.
If anyone has a reference about the dangers of canola that doesn't rest on the 1996 article, I'd appreciate your posting it.

Canola is rapeseed? I wondered what canola was and what was done with rapeseed. In Whales there were yellow rapeseed fields all over.

Yes, we saw them in Norway, too. The fields are beautiful.

I use "Extra Light Tasting" Olive Oil for baking. It even says on the bottle "great for baking". I use it for all my baking needs and it does not alter the taste. I'm against canola oil, because I have read bad things about it. Corn oil seems to upset my skin. And Olive Oil is the most natural oil I can find.
