Fats and Oils

The big 4 on the genetically modified crop oils: Canola,Corn,Cotton Seed and Soy.

1. Canola Oil: There is no such thing as a canola plant or seed. Canola oil is made from rape seeds that have been genetically engineered. Rape seeds are a member of the mustard family and are considered to be a highly toxic, poisonous weed even bugs avoid.

2. Corn Oil:  Is extracted from the germ of corn. It is a polyunsaturated fat, oxidized fats generate free radical damage to cells.

3. Cotton Seed Oil: Cotton plants and seeds contain Gossypol, which is believed to facilitate insect resistance. Cotton Seeds must be refined, bleached and deodorized with ferric chloride in order to try and reduce Gossypol.

4. Soy Oil:  Soy contains phytoestrogens which can cause hormonal imbalances in bot men and women.
