Is Rapeseed Oil Bulletproof?

Paul Hampton

What do you guys think or rapeseed oil?



I was going to buy some coleslaw (cabbage, carrot, cream and rapeseed oil) and wondered if the rapeseed oil was a problem?



Thanks

Very much no.

It's canola oil, high in omega-6.

if we're going to split hairs....it's perhaps not *as* bad as some others. has a lower (though still not "low") polyunsaturated % and better 3:6 ratio than corn oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil.



but "less bad" doesn't equal "good." and something like 80% of it is GMO.



i don't consume any of it, for whatever that's worth. butter, coconut oil, meat fat, cocoa butter, and the occasional bit of olive oil here.
