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.
