I can't see anything in that article which suggests that rapeseed varieties with higher erucic acid levels (necessitating removal by industrial processes) might be grown.
This is the article that I linked to in the first place. It describes how to manage the crop so that contamination with varieties that have higher erucic acid levels is minimised. This important as if erucic acid levels are too high in a batch of oilseed rape, that batch is rejected which is costly for the grower.An associated article on low erucic use in the UK, also seeing a new problem

I do know this is pretty good - I use both this and olive oil - but the best is olive oil. My former lodger who was a bio-chemist told me that olive oil is one of the few oils that when heated to smoking point does not turn carcinocgenic (poisoness )- which can affect the heart. This is also why eating burnt food from say a barbecue can also be very bad for you ie the heart.I always thought Rapeseed oil was bad for us?
O a television programme it's just come out as the best for unsaturated fats!
Is this correct ... does anyone know
they visited the endocrinologists for their follow ups where they told doctor that they were on semi keto diet for last 3 months and due to which they landed up with such bad reports. hence then they were refered to cardiologist.Jonesmia - Did those people you describe visit a cardiologist about their lipid profiles, or any other specialist professional?
Yes I was working for some data collection on a project in this hospital where i got to see these patientsare you a health care professional?
What is a semi Keto diet??semi keto diet f
Possibly questions you cannot answer but relevant to the weight I would put on this anecdote…..they visited the endocrinologists for their follow ups where they told doctor that they were on semi keto diet for last 3 months and due to which they landed up with such bad reports. hence then they were refered to cardiologist.
All. A reminder that the thread is about rapeseed oil. Please stick to the topic.
If a wider discussion on GM/genetic engineering in a broader range of foods is wanted, please start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
I am not sure. I have Hellman full fat mayo, which has rapeseed oil in it, and it hasnt negatively impacted my cholesterol levels so far, after 9 years of checks.I always thought Rapeseed oil was bad for us?

Thank youHope you are feeling better.
I'm afraid progs like that simply wind me up these days.. so many half or mistruths and mainly misleading based on old or poor studies and data.
My view is that seed oils are best avoided totally. Use butter or animal fats instead.

I find this very interesting. I use Olive Oil too so it's reassuring to know it's a great choice.I do know this is pretty good - I use both this and olive oil - but the best is olive oil.

Eating too much saturated fats in your diet can raise "bad" LDL cholesterol in your blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. "Good" HDL cholesterol has a positive effect by taking cholesterol from parts of the body where there's too much of it to the liver, where it's disposed of. is that correct??

All. A second reminder about the thread topic, which is rapeseed oil.
Discussion about keto/semi-keto and results on that way of eating should be taken to a new thread.
Any further derailing posts will be deleted as the thread is becoming of limited value to the OP.
Thanks.

Palm is mostly saturated fat, like coconut oil right? Red palm and coconut oils are in my diet, as long as they are cold pressed. Also cold pressed avocado, olive, linseed are okay in my book. It’s the highly refined stuff that’s bad.. imho
Several years ago my knees were very painful. Dr said they may respond to physiotherapy, and that helped a little. Then I read about seed oils being inflammatory, and at the time I was using margarine and cooking oil. At around the same time I was reading about cholesterol and statins. I switched to butter, olive oil and lard, and my knees began to feel much better. In fact at aged 80 they are better than they were at 65! It may be coincidental, but who knows?
For what it’s worth my cholesterol has gone up a little, but I think it’s probably protecting my immune system, so I don’t respond to demands to ‘see the nurse about high cholesterol’.
