Have you ever gone to your cupboards and inspected the labels on your food products? These days people are either too busy or too lazy to even check what they are feeding themselves and their children. They honestly believe that no food manufactures would ever put "Highly Toxic" ingredients into our food. This could not be more further from the truth.

These very same people constantly suffer from headaches, being overweight or obese, depression, constipation, loss of vision, anemia, heart disease, respiratory illnesses and many types of cancer to name just a few.

What you are about to read here is going to shock you. It will hopefully change the way that you eat forever and, if you apply these principals to your diet, it should prevent your premature death and that of your family members and friends within the next 10 years. At a closer inspection of the labels on the food in your house you will find that most have Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil (which 9 times out of 10 is Canola Oil ) on their list of ingredients. Here are the 10 most important facts about canola oil that you will ever read anywhere.

1. Canola Oil is genetically modified rapeseed, an industrial oil.

2. Rapeseed Oil is lubricating oil used as industrial penetrating oil. It certainly was never intended for consumption by us humans.

3. Once genetic modification was complete Canada paid the American FDA a total of $50 million to have this modified rapeseed oil registered and categorized as completely safe for humans. (Ref: Young Again and others)

4. During the eighties in Europe and the U.K the left overs from rapeseed oil production (what was left over after the oil had been extracted from the plant) was fed to dairy cows, pigs and sheep as a cheap food source. Most of these animals that were fed this toxic waste slowly went blind and over time started attacking people. These attacks eventually stopped once the rapeseed was eliminated from their food.

5. It is super cheap to grow and harvest and farmers love growing it as Insects don't eat it. (what does that tell you) Rapeseed/Canola has a build up effect in our bodies taking around ten years until chronic symptoms start showing themselves.

6. It inhibits the proper metabolism of foods and blocks our normal enzyme function. (This causes weight gain)Canola is what is known as a Trans Fatty Acid. These trans fatty acids have now been shown to have a direct link to cancer. Trans Fatty acids generally come labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Avoid them at all costs no matter how cheap they are!

7. The correct name for Canola oil is "LEAR" oil (Low Erucic Acid Rape) commonly referred to as "rape oil". Rape Oil is widely used as a lubricant, fuel, soap ingredient and as a base for synthetic rubber. It is also used as a glossing agent to add that slick shiny look to the magazines you read. This is an industrial oil and it certainly has no place whatsoever in the human body.

8. It has also been been proven to cause lung cancer (Ref: Wall Street Journal: 6/7/95)

9. Rape oil (Canola oil) is extensively used in thousands of processed foods (check the labels in your house) with the willing permission of our governments.

10. When it is consumed in food, Canola oil depresses our immune systems which in turn causes it to "Fall Asleep". Being extremely high in glycosides, Canola Oil causes a multiple of health problems by blocking and inhibiting normal enzyme function. The possible effects of long term use is the destruction of the protective coating that surround our nerves called the myelin sheath. Once this protective sheath layer is destroyed our nerves basically short-circuit and cause erratic and uncontrollable movements.

In a complete turnaround the EPA has now stated that they have officially classified canola oil as a bio-pesticide, which is classed as having "low chronic toxicities". Furthermore, they state that no studies have been done yet regarding toxic effects on Human beings. But in our food it remains. It's quite disturbing to think that our very own authorities state it is a pesticide and that there have not been any government studies conducted yet. This with the fact that Canola is a genetically modified food, should tell you that it is something that you should not be putting in your body.

Rape/Canola is a part of the mustard family of fauna, which is the source for the biological chemical agent that we all know as mustard gas. Mustard gas was banned after world war one for exactly the same reasons.

So please start checking the labels on "Everything" you buy and if it states "Canola Oil" or more commonly "Vegetable Oil" DO NOT BUY IT! Start shopping for products that are free from this toxin. It's not hard to do as there are many safe alternatives out there such as your Olive Oil's and your Peanut Oil's but make sure they have not been blended with cheap Canola oils.

It is a must to start the removal of this toxin from your body and that of your loved ones as soon as possible. The newly discovered Acai Berry of South America is now number one on our planets list of super foods and is by far the best option for removal of this toxic waste. Acai Berries quickly detoxify the body and return enzyme function to normal. They also speed up your metabolism and regulate cholesterol levels in your body. This will make any excess weight you are carrying literally fall of you and it will not return so long as you regularly take the Acai supplements.

Acai berries have ten times the amount of antioxidants than that of red grapes and a recent study even showed that Acai Berry caused Cancer cells to literally self-destruct. It is most important that as many people as possible become aware of this time bomb that is hidden in our diets and the measures that need to be taken. It is for this reason that I kindly ask you to bookmark, publish, blog and email this article to anyone and everyone you know. Then and only then do we stand a chance of having this toxic product removed from the shelves of our shopping centers. Please help by doing your best to create awareness.
