What is the raw source of Canola Oil? Is it the genetically engineered Rapeseed ?

Expert advice needed Please.What is the raw source of Canola Oil? Is it the genetically engineered Rapeseed ?
Yes it is. And who knows the long-term effects of taking it? I'll stick with my olive oil.What is the raw source of Canola Oil? Is it the genetically engineered Rapeseed ?
It is rapeseed oil and the marketing types in the U.S. decided that ';Canola'; would be a more appealing name than ';rapeseed';.





Canola oil is not genetically engineered - it was bred to have some desirable characteristics, but that was done using the same breeding techniques that we've used for millenia. And rapeseed has been used in cooking for nearly as long.
