it is also know as canola oil. I avoid it.I would hazard a guess that most of us would agree that the ubiquitous mass produced, cooking oils should be avoided if at all possible. I have switched to cooking with cold pressed rape seed oil, olive oil, butter, lard, suet and goose/duck fat. Still reading up on the rape seed oil, though.
Whilst similar, there is not a strict equivalence between the two :it is also know as canola oil. I avoid it.
Let me know what you find out please. In my research canola has the uric acid and the other nasty thing taken out. I do eat expeller pressed non gmo canola mayo as it's the best I can find. I used to make my own mayo but needed to add refined oils so it didn't taste nasty. At least it's expeller pressed and non gmo. And it's delish!I would hazard a guess that most of us would agree that the ubiquitous mass produced, cooking oils should be avoided if at all possible.

Canola is a slightly altered rapeseed. They are the same root plant.Whilst similar, there is not a strict equivalence between the two :

I am still confused about the advice regarding eating fats. The low carb course advised increasing healthy fats and says these include the fat on meat and other saturated fats. However the advice in the pre-diabetes cookbook linked to on this site says that these should be cut out to lose weight. Not sure where to go from here.
Not much food has trans fats in these days it is no longer used in spreads and some shops like M&S say their foods do not contain it so it has been recognised as being badOpinion on whether saturated fats are good / bad to eat is sharply divided. However, there is consensus (I think) that trans fats are very very bad.
When it come to fat do what you feel is best for you some do not want to eat a lot of saturated fats and prefer good oils etc some like the animal fats it is up to you there are no rulesI am still confused about the advice regarding eating fats.

thank you! That's pretty much what I got out of it. I don't use it for frying, it's just in my mayo.@Kristin251
Cold pressed Rapeseed Oil (UK)
Produced without the use of chemicals or solvents at temperatures lower than 40'c which produces low peroxide levels it is then filtered and bottled. It is free from transfats and very low in sat fats.
Note. If a cooking oil does not taste of the plant it comes from then it is a refined oil. So cold pressed rapeseed oil having a very mild flavour of rape (a member of the brassica family) is not considered a refined oil much like cold pressed olive oil.
So, until I learn different, cp rapeseed oil will remain my staple for stir frays and frying eggs. The only reason I don't use lard to fry eggs is the that I dislike the risk of having a solid fat clogging up the drains.

I sauté on low heat with olive oil ( or steam fish with no oil) , and I sear lamb and beef with a little butter. Poultry is roasted with no additional fat.
Glad my mayo is ok. I'm a mayo junky!!
If you are going to heat the rapeseed oil to 180C for frying does the lack of heat in production make any difference? If you use lard, wait until it solidifies then put it in the bin.@Kristin251

Our Hellmanns is soybean oil. Go figure. It was my favorite mayo but the one I get now is almost exactly the same. Just canola oil. Very creamy and delish.Can you not get Hellmanns Real Mayo?
