It is my opinion that we need to thoroughly educate ourselves about nutrition, and the role it plays in our physical and mental well being. Anyone that has a relative or friend whose life has been drastically altered, or whose vivacious personality has been suffocated by escalating health problems knows the true value of good health. Canola oil is a genetically engineered product from Canada, hence the name “Canola Oil”. It was approved by the FDA, placed on GRAS (General Recognized as Safe) and heavily marketed a safe oil for culinary use.
The US Canola Association widely marketed their product to the health food market with claims that it guards against free radicals (said to weaken cells making them susceptible to cancer). However, a 1998 report from EPA stated that they have classified canola oil as a bio-pesticide which “has low chronic toxicities”. The report also stated that there have been no studies regarding the toxic effects on Humans.
Nevertheless, that is just one example of how the food industry maintains a profit-centered approach to the commodities that we need to live on. It is strictly business for the most part - particularly when the government that supperficialy pass laws and create policies to protect us, and all the while creating a climate that fosters a "pay-to-play" mentality. Ladies and gentlemen, it is up to us to be self interested and protect our bodies and our health. We must commit to paying close attention to the quality of what we consume and how much we consume. Read, learn and read some more. The more you educate yourself about nutrition and the critical role it plays in our life, the better off you will be in the long-term, where longevity and good health are concerned.
In this year of 2011, make a private pledge to consume foods and beverages that are ALL NATURAL....meaning; no preservatives, no additives, no food coloring, that are minimally processed. It may seem difficult at first, but gradually it will become easier. You have to start at a pace that you can maintain, but realize that this will make a tremndous difference in the quality of your life, and ultimately your longevity
