The link is from the Canola Council, Ron. Of course they will give themselves a favorable review. Basically we just try to stay away from hybrids.

This is a basic easy fact about hybrids - When hybridization benefits ensure a greater survival threshold, plants may have a better nutrient balance for consumption purposes, but they may also maintain more toxins absorbed from the environment.

Basically,taking a natural wholefood supplement is probably the best thing to take along with our food intake.

And, yes, it can get expensive. We just have to do the best we can for ourselves, judge for ourselves and live with our own choices, all the while, not forcing our views on other people.

the link has ano ther link from the MayoClinic.... i would consider that an impartial judge. they say canola is fine...

and I have never once heard natural hybridization is a bad thing..... dont eat any kind of beef because almost every beef cow out there is a hybred.

I believe that I did state that I don't believe everything about organic food. You can go back and find that I did say that, Ferd.

One thing I do know - organic tastes a whole lot better. And being raised on our own beef, I do know there is a big difference in what is coming out of the grocery stores.

That's fine, Ferd. I think Canola Oil tastes nasty. Bought it once when all the hype was going on and never bought it again.

PO, I knew the link was from the Canola council & I was just having some fun with ya!
I would expect no less than an outright endorsement of Canola Oil from them.
It is expensive when we have three kids.

I guess moderation is the key!

Thanks for sharing any info you do post, you are certainly no slouch on research!

Yes, you are right - moderation is the key.

I don't always buy organic almonds, avocados, etc. I'm just saying that I noticed a big taste difference and would, naturally, want to learn toward organic, especially with the restrictions on pesticides, soil, genetically modified, etc.

Strawberries have thin skins and hold 80% of the pesticides that are sprayed on them. That's one thing I would never buy conventional.

Thanks for being kind and letting me share, Ron. I'll find some things I thought correct only to be wrong after more research, but we have to start somewhere.

LOL! No, my father was a rancher. I have a picture of me sitting on a pipe going into a cement water trough. If I had that on my computer, I would post it. LOL!

We did ride in the back of his truck when he would feed them, and yes - as kids, we ate some of the cow food and licked the salt blocks!!!
